Buckingham Palace and The Buckingham Palace Victoria Memorial London England. Buckingham Palace in London England is an obvious must see for anyone travelling to London England. As well as being the Queen's residence in London England, Buckingham Palace is also her primary workplace. Buckingham Palace is one of many historical icons in London England and seeing Buckingham Palace in person and standing outside the iconic main gates of Buckingham Palace was one of the highlight of our stay in London England. The Victoria  Memorial outside those main gates of Buckingham Palace in London England is both impressive and beautiful. Buckingham Palace is a most appropriate place for the Victoria Memorial as Queen Victoria was the first sovereign to take up residence in Buckingham Palace and was the first sovereign so leave from Buckingham Palace for their Coronation. Although we didn't have time to find out about tours of inside Buckingham Palace just to see Buckingham Palace and the Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace and St James Park, across from Buckingham Palace was quite impressive.

Born to Run: Dryland Dog Mushing / Carting National Championship

Born to Run: Dryland Dog Mushing / Carting National Championship

I had the opportunity to be part of the film crew at the Dryland Dog Mushing Canadian National Championship in Bristol Quebec. This was my first experience at a dog mushing or dog carting competition and it was amazing to see the passion of the participants and the excitement of the dogs. These dogs are truly born to run. Dryland dog mushing or carting really is like dog sledding without the snow. For the participants, dryland dog mushing  is a sport they do for love and some travel all over the world to do it. For the dogs, dryland dog mushing or carting, provides exercise and discipline and helps keep working dogs healthy and happy.

The Millennium Bridge or Millennium Foot Bridge, London England

The Millennium Bridge or Millennium Foot Bridge, London England

The Millennium Bridge over the River Thames in London England has got to be the coolest looking pedestrian bridge I've seen. The London Millennium Footbridge, as it is officially know, was opened in June 2000 Linking the Bankside and the City areas of London England. The Millennium Bridge is positioned on the Thames between the Southwark Bridge and the Blackfriars Railway Bridge in London England.  The Millennium Bridge links a few must see locations in London England, including St Paul's Cathedral, The Globe Theatre and The Tate Modern. I think The Millennium Foot Bridge will become a London England icon given enough time and enough photographs. The London Millennium Foot Bridge is a great example of how the modern and the ancient work together in London England. I crossed the Millennium Bridge twice. I first crossed the Millennium Bridge an my way to the Tate Modern Museum. I crossed the Millennium Foot Bridge a second time to get back to the St Paul's Cathedral.

Underground Subway Station in London, England or THE MATRIX?

Underground Subway Station in London, England or THE MATRIX?

Underground Subway System in London, England or The Matrix? Was I descending into the Matrix or the Underground in London, England? The Underground is the subway system in London England. The architecture in the Underground or subway in London England is from a variety of periods, some modern and some I think are almost original, depending on when that part of the Underground or subway system was build or renovated.  As I was descending into this Underground, or subway, station in London, England, the architecture reminded me of the movie the Matrix so I pulled out my camera and started shooting. Sorry the clip is so short but I was already half way down the escalator into the Underground or subway system, by the time I got the camera out.

GoPro Time Lapse from the Bottom of the Swimming Pool

I love splashing around in a swimming pool, so when we were invited to our friend's house for a swim we were more than happy to accept the invitation. I grabbed my GoPro camera and my towel and my swim suit and we headed over. I decided to try making some kind of time lapse in the swimming pool so I tried a couple of position on the bottom of the pool and here is how it turned out.
