Mirror Maze


I'd found out recently that St. Andrew's Cathedral had acquired a mirrored sculpture garden, with inscriptions.  As this combined two of my favourite things (reflection photos and words) I headed along to have a look when I was in town the other day.


There's also a 200 year old olive tree


Overlapping words



 Split-sky and shadow


...in which I cunningly take a photo of myself from the back...


a slab of sky


There are also some amazing murals on the walls of the building across the street, by street artist Rogue-One.  I would not have guessed there was so much going on under the Clyde...



A final, excessively chocolate-boxy shot of the Cathedral (they're clearly big on mirrors in general).

Codebreaking

I spent the last few days down in Leeds at the CBBC Live event running digital making workshops with some of the team from CoderDojo.    We were saving the world from the evil Crime Minister with the help of M.I. High's agents and our young agents-in-training; an endeavour which involved web-programming, ciphers, and steganography.  Fortunately all went well and the world was saved (five times).


Rose, me, Oyiza (who plays Aneisha), Oscar (who plays Tom), Craig and Dan after the final workshop.


Leeds from my hotel room (both ways up).


And at night.


One of the many interesting sculptures round the city.
