Tower Bridge - Eurotrip Mosaic Project

After arriving back from London I wanted to somehow get some more use out of the 30,000 photos we had taken over the last 3 years and I came up with the idea of a mosaic. I searched the net and found a fantastic program called Andrea Mosaic which made the whole process pretty simple.

You point the program to a directory or directories on your PC and then it scans them into its database. I used a collection of 30,000 photos from our trip, I then selected the main photo which was Tower Bridge. After that I decided to use 2,000 photos in the image and made a few changes to the lighting, rotation of photos etc. Then pressed the start button. The mosiac was finished within a few minutes, after looking at the photos close up to ensure there was nothing too dodgy I put it on a memory stick and took it to get printed and framed. It turned out fantastic and now we have a perfect way to remember our time in Europe.

The Red Arrows and Typhoon flyover - RAF’s 90th anniversary

With smoke trails of red, white and blue, the formation of Red Arrows and Typhoon jets flew over London for the RAF’s 90th anniversary. We had a great view since our office is just near Tower Bridge, they flew directly overhead at 1pm, its days like these that make living in London worthwhile.

28th Birthday Bash

The day didn't get off to the best start with a massive loss in Rugby but that was all soon forgotten. We had the pleasure of watching England lose against Scotland at the start of the night and then we got the drinking games started. After a fair few hours at the rugby club we headed off to the Chatsworth Pub, we stayed there till close and then all headed over to Jimmys and kept the party going till the early hours.

London Maritime Museum and Cutty Sark

I decided to take a decent lunch hour since it was such a great day today and catch a train from London Bridge to the Maritime Museum which I have been meaning to visit for a while. It was a very rushed trip but I got to see most of the main attractions.

I also dropped by the famous tea clipper the Cutty Sark which is under cover after a fire did some major damage not so long ago.
