Ice Skating at the Natural History Museum

Well I can only skate a little, not those zoom zoom kind if you know what I mean. Not much practise in Singapore with the ice skating place closed down for business. This place looks fun & big to skate with a nice backdrop of historial buildings & blue sky. The building looks vertical to me alright.

Merry Christmas to you & your family.

Yes, of course, VAX/VMS rules, but today and Linux...!? ;-)

 

Cheers, Dushan

Very pleasant and natural scene, I like the beautiful rendition of colors, though the combination of ice and green of leaves is a bit strange... But a beautiful scene of life...

I think this is great. I've never seen a sceene like this one depicting London. I too love the lighting and the natural colours that come from it. I find it amazing that you have green grass and flowers over there on the left and a skating rink in the same picture. That just wouldn't happen here in Canada.

Lovely jubbly. The Nat History Museum and St Pancras scrubbed up really well when they cleaned them. Nice winter feel.

last time I looked St. Pancs was still under wraps (last Saturday)

I'm talking about quite a while ago (showing my age), St Pancras used to be soot black.

Thanks guys! The bit of St Pancras I like is the engine shed rather than the Victorian gothic facade. Unfortunately no steam engines these days to add a bit of smog and dramtic lighting to the shot!

Colin,

 

I just went out to take some photos of the rink in millenium square, Leeds - for some bizarre reason there's a 10 foot spacing between a crowd control barrier and the rink wall, so I mounted the Civic Hall steps to take some photos, the next thing I see is a security guard waving her arms at me shouting 'child protection, no photos'! There were no children that I could see, certianly none younger than a teen, the world has gone mad.

Strange, isn't it, when it is a public place and no doubt there was more than one camera there. I find taking 'street' shots can get this reaction which is one of the reasons I tend to stick to things that don't complain like landcsape and buildings.
