CATCHING UP

I spent New Year in Edinburgh and watched the fireworks.  I have also been busy with my GCSE photography work. I got some good photos.  I really enjoy photography and also got a few good shots when I was in New York over Christmas.  One of my favourites is the panoramic view with the obliging seagull!  I enjoyed the Lumiere London event last night and took lots of pictures.
