Christmas - Devon and Saunton Sands
Merry Christmas and all that - formalities aside it's always nice to get out of the big smoke and see some of the country you're living in and spend some quality time with friends. This year we headed out to Devon. It was a fantastic trip and the weather was spot on the whole time. I managed to get some shots off and since I haven't had time to update this I thought I'd put them up here.

Abandoned TV tower in Russia
Source: Abandoned Places and Victorprofessor.com
This photo set just gave me the willies. It an abandoned television tower in Russia.
The blurb from the blog states:
Highest abandoned television tower on Russia - 350 meters.
It's a little bit higher than Eiffel tower in Paris. Was bult in 1990s. Used by base-jumpers.
Some photos from bottom to top and then top to ground. Wind, clouds, ice. 2 hours for going up, and 1 hour to go down.
