Glastonbury Excitement!

So it's that time of year again, time to dig out my tent and rucksack and fill it with toilet roll, lots of sanitizer and of course cider! Let's hope for some fun times and absolutely no rain!! Here are some of my photo's from last year...

Olympic Torch for London 2012

Alot of the London olympics designs have been a massive disappointment so far, starting with the logo unvailed by Wolff Olins a few years back...

Then there was the rather unsightly Anish Kapoor sculpture for the olympic park that looked more like a rollercoaster than a new landmark to represent London...

And again, then there was the mascots 'Manlock and Mandiville' which looked like creates from the film Monsters Inc...

But finally, a designers BarberOsgerby might have a winner. The design for the London 2012 torch is simple, sleek and understated. The only bad point is that awful logo is still on it!

Kolmanskop Ghost Town

From the last series of 'Wonders of the Universe', Brain Cox travelled to an old mining town in Namibia, Africa. He used the town to explain the laws of entropy and its effect on time. I found the ghost town interesting enough itself. The sand dunes have slowly taken over this old town, with some pretty unusal photos capturing old crumbling homes filled with sand and slowly being eaten up by the dessert. The photo's almost look like a surreal art installation matta-clark might do?
