Photos

Not been playing much poker since I moved in, in fact I've done about 90 hours in the last 2 months and only 25 this month so some major slacking going on. This has been due to moving in obviously but World of Warcraft has its fair share of blame also =). To be fair we have also been out a lot checking stuff out in the area and been on a few trips also as can be seen in the photos below.

You can click on the photos for a larger picture!


This is a shot of part of the living room area, clearly the most important part! Guess who sits where =) Oh wait, I'm sitting there, guess it wasn't so hard.


This is the less important area, leading off into the kitchen and hallway. The TV area with a couple of couches is to the right of this picture, we forgot to take one.


This is a very cool set of steps just right beside my house, this guy was in the middle of riding down them all when I took the shot. I run to the top of the steps Rocky style from 6AM to 7AM every morning to get me ready for the daily poker grind.


This is my buddy IceGod, he is renting a room from me in my new flat. He is currently a $200/$400 NL grinding machine but by the end of the year he will be killing the $2000 games =)


This is part of Glasgow University which is quite close to my house. Pretty cool photo opportunity.


This is the same place as the photo above taken from the opposite side.


The steeple of Glasgow University.


Me at some random memorial on the way to the North of Scotland.


The road to Glen Coe, a famous stopping off point for tourists. We only got as far as Fort William/Loch Ness and headed back. That is only a 1/3 of the way up and took all day =)


Tom admiring the view around Glen Coe.


I got in the way of this cool mountain shot.


Steve, he was doing all the driving on these trips =) He's my personal chauffeur these days =)!


This is one of the hundreds of random Loch's in Scotland we passed through on our trip North.


This is actually Loch Ness. No monster unfortunately in this one. This is right at the start of Loch Ness. We started heading back about now and avoided going to the touristy area. Loch Ness is huge, this is only a tiny part of it, it goes on for about 23 miles. The loch contains more fresh water than all that in England and Wales combined.


We stopped off for a few days here once we arrived back, Tom is on the left =). I am now a Level 55 Mage.


This is the biggest Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow, it has just recently been refurbished after being closed for a few years whilst the work was done. It is really impressive and absolutely massive inside.


The main entrance area which leads off to Dinosaurs, Aeroplanes, Mummies, Fine Art and other various goodies.


Me showing Steve and Tom whats up.


Tom trying to copy the master.


A combined shot of the Musem and the University and a lawn bowls spot.


This is Tom walking through Kelvingrove Park which is 20 metres from my house.


This is a shot of the River Kelvin which runs through Glasgow and the park.


A random pond within Kelvingrove Park.


Another shot somewhere in the park on the way back from the museum I believe.


A shot of our flat buildings from the distance near the Museum.


A pretty pathway through the park and about 100 metres from my house.


A shot from the park of our house.


And finally a slighty closer one.

Well that is all the photos I have so far. The weather has been intense for the past few weeks in Scotland. Broken some records in fact. Crazy stuff. Blog will start getting updated a bit more now that I have settled in more. We had no internet for a few weeks bar a crappy rarely used modem connection.
