I’ve just uploaded a bunch of photo’s from my (2nd) trip this month to Ibiza. click the pic above to jump into my photo stream..

This was a beautiful moment just before sunset at San Antonio’s sunset strip in Ibiza. We had just ordered food, drunk some champagne and all was good. I got itchy photo feet and went to capture the scene…

Arrived late last night to a nice hotel. We’ve* come over to Ibiza to go to a wedding. All lovely so far. Pool’s nice, beach only 1 mins walk breakfast was superb (continental / feb’s and co-co pops). Weather report looks top tastico for the duration

*24 of us incl. Sophie, Eirene and I.

Just about to take off on an adventure!

THIS is the future. Check out this ‘Jaw Dropping’ demo of Seadragon and Photosynth Thanks to CMK for the heads up on this.

Sat at work way early. Planned to get in for 7. Due to the A59 being blocked, thanks to a landslide I’ve had to pick out a new route. My new route via (sort of) West End village only adds 8 mins (yesterdays new route cost me 60 mins). Get to chip off at 12:30 today, tomorrow it’s time for another airbourne adventure!

Good weekend.. Saturday was fairly chilled, went out on Saturday night for a bit to Banyan. Sunday, Fathers day – nice! As it was ‘my day’ I chose to go to the pub and watch cricket and eat a Sunday Roast. Harlow Gata was the most suitable venue.

At the close of play, I came home and selected a bunch of images from the last 6 months and compiled them into an animated gif (above). It’s crazy looking at 6 months condensed into 11 seconds.

Is it just me or is the ‘new’ olympics logo, (which incidentally cost us british tax payers £400,000) a bit on the similar side to my very own dragondrop logo, designed in 2002?

£400K !!!??? … surely I deserve a drink out of that!

Thanks to ‘firq’ for pointing that out.

UPDATE : There’s quite a lively discussion taking place over on the flickr comments page for this image…

I’ve uploaded a bunch of stills from our recent trip to ibiza now.
My ‘set’ is here

TIMELAPSE ANIMATION – pool side chill 2, originally uploaded by DragonDrop.

I’ve uploaded a few more bits from our holiday.. (yet more to follow) We did a bunch of time lapse shoots – where you leave the camera to shoot every 15 mins (or 10 seconds) for a set period of time,then put them all together.

Some results that I’m rather pleased with.

My bestest buddy Simon (aka Vapour Trail – 4th from left) decided to get married and ask me to be his best man. The ‘pipe dream’ was Ibiza – get a nice villa and a bunch of top boys together. Nearly aborted the plan and go for a more local option but I’m so glad we didn’t. We all had a fantastic time.

The villa was superb – HUGE grounds – a converted farm I’d guess. Great pool with a view, loads of space. We hired a car and did a good tour of the island, taking in some of it’s fine beaches and views.

Of course any trip to Ibiza would not be complete without a./ sunset beers on the sunset strip (tick – Cafe Mambo on Thursday – great burgers!) b./ going to one of the world famous clubs to watch a celebrity DJ (tick, Pete Tong, Pacha Friday Night) c./ going to a really good restaurant (tick – Es Boldado, one of the best in Ibiza overlooking Es Vedra near Cala D’Hort – a superb fish eating house!) d./ enjoying the sun by the pool / beach (tick, tick) and generally having a top time with amigos (pictured above – a MASSIVE tick there!)

Shame its all over really. I’ve got a whole bunch of photos and video that I’ll be sticking up at some point. Watch this space! The only downside is that due to being given the wrong type of replacement sim card by T-effing-Mobile, I was without phone for the whole trip.. was looking forward to som pic mo blogging.

A superb weekend. Went up to Stainforth near Settle for a walk. I’d read about Catrigg Force as being “the prettiest waterfall in the Dales”. we were not disappointed. Saturday was a hot day, and in the Eden like tranquility that was the base of Catrigg we went for a swim. A lovely walk back into Stainforth, quick pint then home.

Yesterday I went sunglasses shopping – got a really nice pair of cebe’s (ready for an impending adventure that starts tomorrow night) before kicking back into a BBQ with friends and neighbors.
