Pan-O-Rama-Lama from Parliament Hill

This past Saturday I met up with some mates for a wander around Hampstead Heath. It was my first time walking around the Heath proper (other than just seeing it while at Kenwood House) and it was pretty amazing. So much nature not so very far from central London.

We ascended the steady incline to the top of Parliament Hill, renowned as the best view of central London around, and I must say it is pretty good. I've put together a panarama that I'm pretty happy with:

Be sure to click on the image, go to 'All sizes' and view the original size to see everything.

Going For a Walk Under the Thames

Well today was a big day - I got to walk through the Thames Tunnel. It's the first tunnel ever to be constructed under water and was done so by Marc Brunel and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel. You may of heard of him.

After the mess that was trying to get tickets over the phone and the website, I got a ticket for this afternoon. But not before getting the wrong ticket type and being charged three times.

There's been lots written about these tours by other Londony types here, here and here. So rather than re-hashing what they have already said I'll just link to my photo set over on Flickr.

New Web-photo-thing-me-bob

So Tumblr eh (and the mini-blogging sites of that ilk). I have had an account for I don't know how long and did nothing with it.

Last week I had an idea for doing some photo posts here, but decided to try doing it with Tumblr instead as it would be a lot easier and be a separate thing from my babbling on here.

I sometimes take photos of things that look like other things, or have the same name as other things, or has old signs on it that don't really mean much. Weird things like that. When walking down Mill Road in Cambridge recently I passed by Covent Garden and thought "no it's not!". I thought hey, maybe that's a neat idea to do with photos.

So here it is, No It's Not. I'm sure my explanation of the contents may seem a bit half baked, but I'm sure you'll all get the idea.

Output of the Tripod of Terror

Long exposure/lots of light shot of Liverpool Street station from the safe location of across the street. Check out the rest of last night's photos here on Flickr.

Blimey, that's three posts in a row now that involve this station. Do I get a prize?

What’s all this then?

Kühlschrank.com, established 2003, is the personal site of Andrea Vail. She's a Canadian geek girl currently living in England who enjoys history, Macs, trains and a jolly good dance number in equal amounts.

Why 'kühlschrank'? I just think it's a neat word. When taking German in school, I decided it was my favourite German word and used it as my new domain name. So there we go.
