That's all for 2007. It's been a bit of a strange year for me photographically. A combination of what seemed to be consistantly poor weather at weekends and more social engagements than normal meant that I didn't get a chance to venture out with my camera as often as I normally do. Also, none of the foreign trips I had planned at the beginning of the year came to fruition, but I did at least manage to fit in a last-minute trip to Bulgaria in June which was very successful.

Hopefully, 2008 will present more travel and photographic opportunities. We'll just have to wait and see...
