During my trip through Europe this summer I had the chance to play around with my camera’s panoramic mode. The following is a result of the said play:

In June, I took a two week, backpacking trip through Western Europe. I took in London, Paris, Zurich, Munich and Amsterdam before returning to Hamilton on one of the best airlines I have ever been on, Globe Span.

I have been looking through pictures and deciding which to put up and what service to use and I finally decided on Google’s Picasa. The reason being that I am able to upload as many pictures as I want to in a month (up to 1 GB in total for the free service) whereas with flickr it was only 100 MB per month. You can find my picture galleries, with each city as its own album.
Here are a few sample pictures from my trip.

From 2008 London

Munich train station from 2008 Munich

I have returned from my two-week trip through Europe. The trek took me to London, Paris, Zurich, Munich and Amsterdam.

It was a great trip and I have a lot of pictures and thoughts on it. I am in the process of putting the pictures online and writing posts about the trip. They should be available by the end of the week.

It’s good to be back!

In the next two weeks I will be in one of the countries shown below.

I will tell you that, for sure, on June 13th I will be in Switzerland cheering on Romania as they take on Italy as part of Euro 2008.

My plane leaves in about 5 hours so I will be heading to the airport pretty soon. I will not be blogging from Europe regularly, but I may post some pictures if I get a chance.

Pip, pip, CHEERIO!
