There is a magical place in London, where all your technological dreams come true. Staffed by pixies and leprechauns, who have brought with them the finest gifts from the end of the rainbow to sell to those of us lucky enough to know the whereabouts of this secret marketplace. Freshly cut bouquests of iPads, posies of iPod Nanos and bunches of iPhones adorn the stalls. If you’re feeling flush, perhaps you might be interested in an extra special iMac arrangement, or maybe, as it’s Christmas, you’ll be tempted by a wreath made out of purest gold MacBooks.
Alternatively, I’ve been for a day to London, stopping by at Covent Garden, to enjoy the Christmas lights. Take your pick. Whichever tale sounds best to you, that’s the true story.
On another note, WordPress have changed their quick post editor. Again. I found the first version to be a bit ‘meh’. This latest update is awful. The full editor is still available, but I am a little tired of WordPress’ determination to always take me to the quick editor by default.
For some unknown reason you post came through in HTML code. It is unreadable. Just thought that you should know.

It did. And it was. I pasted the Flickr code into the Visual editor (which does not recognise code) instead of the HTML editor (which does) by mistake.

All I see here is a very interesting picture. Care to explain what it’s about?

Me thinks that Gary may be hitting the bottle after his 3 month review. I do see the market at his web site.

Yes, the story did come through much later than the image. Sorry! I just don’t seem to have enough time these days!

Would it be an “Apple” store? My iPad can’t see it!

Hi Gary,
This is another superb shot! It’s really amazing how sharp the photo is and colours are very vivid and autumnal. What time of day did you take it?

You’d be disappointed if you saw the original image, I suspect. The wonders of Lightroom Presets has worked its magic on this photo…

Oh no, don’t tell me that you photoshoped it. I must admit that when my photos don’t like exactly the way that I want them to look I take the liberty of tweaking them.

Lovely photo. I’m a big fan of the Leadenhall Market too.

Where Quincy Market is beautiful this time of year, with its lights and decorations.

There really is no fooling you at all. Ever. But I’ll continue to try!
Have you thought yet about a London trip, perhaps for 2016?

Gary: you’re too kind, really. When I saw this post, I don’t think it had the text it has now. But even if it did, the “Hand-made Art & Design” sign in the photo kind of gives it away.
As for London, I’d love to go if the tickets weren’t so bloody expensive. I have another friend there who has also been trying to get me to go. But I can fly to DF and back twice for the cost of going to London once. Maybe I should try to fly on miles. Hmmmm…. I’ll have to think about that.

Ah, but Apple products are all handmade. By fairies in a magical forest. Or by near suicidal slaves in Chinese sweat shops. Again, pick the version you prefer.
I’ve been looking at prices to Mexico. What has happened to air fares? Last year I found prices around the £550 mark. Now, £750 is pretty much as good as I can get. I’m going to have to bite the bullet I guess.
Well, if there will be no photo walks around London any time soon, maybe lady luck will see to it that our DF trips overlap….

That would be nice. But wow, I’m surprised at the airfare jump. Here I think they’ve been falling. Certainly fuel has gotton much cheaper. Saludos!
