I’m a little short on nemeses. Either I have only one un-fan, or the new Pownce beta isn’t ready to come out of the oven yet.

Just saw this at CNN.com.  Nearly every story here somehow plays upon and validates depressing regional stereotypes.

Photos shot near Griffy Lake in Bloomington, IN (2006).

It’s mid-afternoon. Do you know where your children are?

I took this photo at 5:10 pm yesterday. It is going to be a *long* winter.

I woke up this morning and tossed my to-do list out the window, opting instead to walk about with Mike’s 20D. In all, I took over a hundred photos and had a smashing day out.

Canterbury Cathedral

The Canterbury Cathedral was established in 597 AD by St. Augustine (no, not that one) under the authority of Pope Gregory the Great.  It’s also the site of the murder of Thomas Becket, “the most documented and most shocking single act of murder in medieval Europe.”  Today, it’s the center of the Anglican communion and a World Heritage site undergoing a massive £50 million renovation.  Though visitors are charged £3.50 admission, free services are held on Sunday mornings.

Canterbury City Centre

The Cathedral lies near the heart of Canterbury and is just a block from my favo(u)rite hangout - High Street. Despite its relatively low population of ~43,000 people, the city is home to more shops than I can count. Filled with people rather than cars, the brick-and-cobblestone streets wind about the city centre past cafés, boutiques, restaurants, department stores, and the like. An outstanding place to people-watch or grab tea/coffee with a friend.
