I wanted to get outside and take some photo’s recently so I packed up my gear and headed to Brill Windmill. Brill Windmill is located in the historic Buckinghamshire village of Brill. Although the windmill is not operational, there are continued restoration projects in the future.

Thought to be one of the oldest windmills is Britain, Brill Windmill was erected sometime in the 1680′s. It is considered to be one of the best preserved post-mills still standing from the 17th century.

The windmill itself is open to the public every Sunday during the summer. However, you can still go and take pictures of the windmill and surrounding countryside during the week. I believe I went and visited during the middle of the week sometime and it was just perfect. I didnt have to pay admission but I have seen some websites stating an admission fee of £2.00.

For more information you can check out the Brill Village website.

I must say that Chase Jarvis is a genius because he recently developed an iPhone application for those of you looking to get more out of your iPhone camera. The iPhone app is called Best Camera and it looks pretty cool.

I don’t own an iPhone but I can appreciate how he says,

The best camera is the one that’s with you.

Here is a video with a little more information on the app:

I was recently contacted by WingBus.com because they wanted to feature two of my photos on their website. Because I love having the ability to share my photos with others I said yes without hesitation!

But wait, what exactly is WingBus.com? After doing a little research I found out the WingBus.com is an online travel community in Korea. Pretty cool huh! I went to their website but unfortunately I can not read Korean or find anywhere on the website that gives the option to translate into English.

The photo’s are of some places I visited and documented in Okinawa while I was there. Both of the images are not currently on my favorite photographs list, but they are what WingBus.com was looking for at the time.

Here are the two screen shots of the photos as they appear on the website:

Many of you are aware that my wife and I recently moved to the United Kingdom. We have been here about two months now and have been fortunate enough to get out and visit some local destinations when the weather was nice.

Since I lacked Internet connectivity for the past two or three months I haven’t been able to post updates often as I would like. I wanted to post a couple of my favorite pictures from some of the places we have visited so far.

Feel free to leave a message and let me know which one is your favorite.

Oh yeah, expect to see routine updates on the site again….yay!!!

This is just a post for family and friends to check out our new house here in England.

We are still moving in and getting situated at the moment. It doesn’t really help that we had the bare minimum before we moved here. We are now in the process of buying new furniture for the house and for our soon to be baby boy.

Here are the pictures:

Have you ever wanted to take out your aggressions on your coworkers? Well, after being here in England for only a month I got the chance to do just that. The venue…Finmere Paintball in Finemere!

Nearly thirty-five coworkers and myself headed out this weekend to try our hands in a couple games of paintball at Finmere paintball. To be honest,  I have gone paintballing in the past with coworkers and it was only moderate fun at best. I must say that this weekend was very different and that Finmere Paintball does an excellent job at making sure everyone is enjoying themselves.

Located at an old WWII airbase, Finmere paintball provided the right mix of exciting games and terrain to make any novice paintballer satisfied. For around £13 I was able to play a “full day” with lunch included. I say “full day” because the initial payment only gives you a hundred paintballs to play with for the full day. The majority of us ended up buying an additional five-hundred balls for £30. You can also choose to buy a hundred paintballs at a time for £7.

Overall, I was impressed with the equipment provided and help from the staff. In all my previous experiences we simply went out to a woodland area and the staff brought paintball guns and paint for us. At Finmere they provided overalls, paint, belt to carry extra paint canisters, mask, gun, and gloves at an additional fee.

Our full day of paintballing started at around 9:15am and lasted until nearly 2:30pm. I would highly recommend spending a day letting loose at Finmere Paintball with some coworkers or friends. I know that I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Check out all of the photos from the day here at my Finmere Gallery.

Within a month of arriving in the United Kingdom my wife and I decided to go and see one of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge. After an hour or so of driving we finally arrived at this famous location and it was well worth the drive.

Stonehenge is located approximately two miles west of Amesbury and eight miles north of Salisbury. There have been many theories to the origin of Stonehenge throughout the years. Most recently the Stonehenge Riverside Project uncovered information that indicates Stonehenge was a burial ground from its earliest beginnings.

No matter what theory is correct, it was truly fascinating to stand at such a historic landmark and take in everything Stonehenge had to offer.

Here are a couple pictures from the day

Stumbled around the Internet and ran into a trailer of Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day. Lets see if this movie can followup the first Boondock Saints movie which ended up becoming a cult classic.
