Suffolk by the Sea

Spent last weekend at Sizewell Hall Christian Conference Centre - just down the coast from the Sizewell B nuclear (PWR) power station. Sizewell A (the old 1960s AGR) is now decommissioned, but there is a lot of activity building the sub-station for the new offshore wind farm.

Took a trip down to Minsmere and Aldeburgh; called in at the lifeboat station (does anyone know how they get this thing out the door?!).

San Francisco Skyline

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF-MOMA) with the PacBell Building in the background. When built in 1925 the 'Pacific Telephone Building' was the tallest skyscraper in San Francisco. The present SF MOMA building dates from 1995.

'Heroes (Just for One Day)' - or three

Mixing it with a bunch of gaming geeks at the Game Developer Forum in San Francisco. Looking forward to getting back to the real world. In fact looking forward to getting out of this earthquake zone!

Auschwitz II - Birkenau

More than 1 million people (Jews, Poles and Roma) passed along this track
on a one-way journey to their deaths.

The main gatehouse at Auschwitz II, known as the 'Gate of Death'.

Looking through the gate to the unloading ramp.
