I took very few photos during my single day in Reykjavik thanks to the appalling weather, and even less I'll upload to flickr. Hopefully this shot encapsulates a bit of the Icelandic capital in a recognisable way.

One of the more striking juxtapositions in the current 'Ai Weiwei at Blenheim Palace' Exhibition. The red crabs apparently represent those that are dead to new ideas (also just happens to be the colour of the Communist Party......) whist the grey crabs are the alive ones (at least according to the helpful warden in the room).
I was wondering if people were allowed to take photos inside the Palace now so was pleased to see the rather archaic ban on photography has now been lifted. More photos to come, both of the Ai Weiwei Contemporary Art and the fabulous interiors themselves.

From the Brooklyn Museum website : 'In He Xie, Ai metaphorically represents the restriction of individual expression and freedom of speech in Chinese society. He xie, literally “river crab,” also sounds like the word for “harmonious,” which is part of the Chinese Communist Party slogan “The realization of a harmonious society.” He xie has thus come to refer to online censorship and the restriction of individual freedom of expression in Chinese society.
In November 2010, Chinese authorities announced that Ai’s new studio in Shanghai would be demolished. In response, Ai invited guests via Twitter to a feast of ten thousand river crabs to protest the government’s control of information. Placed under house arrest for his actions, he was unable to attend his own feast.'

A girl posing for the Hotels photographer on the wall of our hotels Infinity pool.
When we booked our Summer holiday to the Paloma Club Sultan hotel in Ozdere, Turkey I remember hoping I'd get some shots like this of the infinity pool. I'd say things turned out nicely.......
These are some of the first shots I took with my new Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 and I think the increase in quality over my previous 70-300mm lens is considerable.

I know it's nearly April but I think I'll continue uploading the last few of my 'University Park in snow' shots as given the weather they still seem relevant. Even today there was a brief flurry of the white stuff.
