It's beginning to look a lot like...

The Birmingham Christmas Market! In full swing since last Thursday and lasting until December 23rd. Lots of colourful stalls and very expensive Gluhwein. I expect to mining a rich seam of blips here over the next few weeks. The market was relatively quiet this evening as it was Tuesday and very cold, so signficantly fewer revellers than on the opnening night when it was quite literally difficult to move.

Now almost recovered from the Lakeland dawn shoots at the weekend - returned the useless rain cover to Jessops today. All of the images are still on the camera and they are not likley to get processed in the next few days either. Let's hope there are at least a few reasonable shots amongst the hundreds I took!
