Cambridge - Spring 2001

Below are a random set of pictures I took around the Cambridge area during Spring 2001. My digital camera was still fairly new then, so the quality on a few of them is pretty poor - it probably doesn't get in better, but at least for these shots I've got a valid excuse...

Cambridge Curry Centre

The Cambridge Curry Centre had a facelift recently and this is a snap of the new facia. Somehow the old look seemed far more appropriate for the title... But you never know, maybe the food's been upgraded to be as classy(!) as the exterior.

Jesus Lock (post floods)

This was as close as I got to a flood photo, unfortunately. OK, so the water's only a few feet above normal level, but it's a reasonable picure of Jesus Lock. Apart from the bad light, the poor focus, etc.

Jesus Lock (closeup)

You can see that despite missing the worst of the floods, the water's still not dawdling. I'll get around to putting up some comparison shots sometime... Maybe...

The Cam from Jesus Lock

A nice evening shot along the Cam towards Magdelane Bridge from Jesus Lock. If you look to the left, it does demonstrate why I'm so amazed there wasn't more damage in the floods - about half the Cam has banks a low as that.

Sunset Over Mount Pleasant

Proof that Cambridge is in fact (just about) alive - behind some of the historic frontage, there's a few streets with some vaguely new development. This shot shows Mount Pleasant Street, taken from the (old) office.

Ipswich centre by night

Back in March or thereabouts, me and my friends Rich, Jenny and Geoff decided, quite randomly, to drive over to the East coast for the evening. On the way we stopped off in the quaint little village (*cough*) of Ipswich for some food. Making up our minds was the tricky bit, but we found a great Thai place to which I hope to return someday!

Geoff's cheesey grin

As usual Geoff presented his cheesey grin to the world - unfortunately, the wind changed just at that moment and he's looked identical ever since. Or maybe he just always looked like that...

Louisa being camera shy :)

Eventually we made it to Felixstowe, and Rich met up with his friend Louisa (Rich, rant at me if the spelling's wrong :) - unfortunately, she was a little camera shy (which might have had something to do with my bad photography at the time :)

Vampire Rich

The evening came to an abrupt end, however, when Rich suddenly revealed his Vampiric nature to the rest of the club. And if you look very carefully over his left shoulder...

Rich's demon (detail of above shot)

... you'll see he'd brought his own personal demon into the club to aid his nefarious schemes!
