A picture I took in Birmingham in June 2011 when the great man played at a 90th Birthday celebration concert in Symphony Hall.
He seemed to struggle to walk onto the concert platform, but when one of his entourage placed his sitar gently in position in front of him, it was as if a bolt of electricity had been fired through him. He played for almost two hours and I was overwhelmed by his performance. You simply wouldn't believe he was in his tenth decade.
A remarkable man.

Suffolk 2012
Suffolk 2012, a set on Flickr.
Pictures taken on the East Coast in Suffolk. Aldeburgh, Southwold, Thorpeness, Dunwich are all seaside haunts which have a great feel to them, with a welcome lack of brash commercialisation.

Venice - 2012
rogercable2011's photostream on Flickr.
Finally, I get to take some pictures in Venice. You've seen hundreds of pictures of the place, but it's still a thrill when you first set foot in the city - it's like being teleported back 700 years.
A fantastic place.

London - 2012
London - 2012, a set on Flickr.
Some more pictures taken on a day in London this July, with the Olympics a few days away. I wandered around some of my University haunts in South Kensington, bringing back memories from 45 years ago.
