What an amazing experience. Drove to the beach to get some air (even though it looked stormy). Got there and sure enough a storm was moving in. I went crazy and took loads of photo’s bracketing all the way. I got a stack of fairly good shots, and a couple of great shots. This one shows the storm about to hit and a couple of fishermen trying to save their catch & rods!

I love the feel of drama and the contrast of the stormy clouds. It doesn’t beat being there though!

Taken in France, just outside Biarritz. It was a really stormy evening so we jumped into the cars and drove to the nearest beach.

19/03/09

I’ve been tinkering with jQuery for a while now and I love it. As you’d imaging we’re adhering to web standards and a great little solution for opening external links, rather than using target=”_blank“ we add a rel=external, then with jQuery open the given link in a new window.
