Ghent
My friends Jo and Adam came to visit me this weekend to watch the pantomime I was in which was lovely of them. They also stopped by in Ghent for lunch beforehand and Jo took some gorgeous photos of the town (http://instagram.com/joistakingphotos) that I have taken the liberty of copying..

While living in Hong Kong I started doing landscape and cityscape sketches, always with a couple of dragons lurking in the distance..
