Not quite our new home, but getting closer. We arrived in North Carolina last week, but until we rent an apartment, we're staying in a hotel next to Andrew's work.

So a rather less-than-exciting location, but - thanks to the squiggly trees I don't know the name of - a moderately interesting shot, I hope.

On my first visit to New York, four and a half years ago, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where I sat on the steps and drew this building. It was summer then, and warm enough to sit outside for that long. This day was freezing, so it was just as well I was only taking a photo, but I like the symmetry of the thing.

I took a couple of shots, some without the pigeons, but I rather like them in there. None of the pictures came out looking straight, though.

Another one straight out of the camera: the Oudegracht (Old Canal) with the Dom tower in the background. The cathedral of Saint Martin (the Dom) was built in the 1300s, but a storm in 1674 caused the nave to collapse, leaving a free-standing tower.

Not visible: the bicycles crammed onto the bridge on which I was standing. You can just about see them on the bridge in the background, though.

A new project for 2012, to encourage me to take more photos & document our move to (and life in) a new country.

WAWM stands for "Where are we Monday(s)?": the plan is to take a photo every Monday of wherever we happen to be - inspired by the fact that the first four Mondays of 2012 will be in 4 different cities in 3 different countries.

This one's straight out of the camera, taken on a bright winter's day in Paris. An edited photo might follow.
