Enger-lund

I have returned to Nairobi after a week at a training course in England. I somehow resisted the urge to take snaps of people harassing the guards at Buckingham Palace, but here are a few shots I took at the British Museum:



In the Sainsbury Gallery of African Art, a chair made entirely from discarded AK-47s and other assault weapons.



Also in the Sainsbury Gallery: some striking bronzes from Nigeria.



Stela! Babylonian stela depicting either commerce or something nefarious involving weapons of mass destruction, depending on whether you are Condoleeza Rice.



Babylonian stela depicting either a pleasant outing or proving ancient linkages with al-Qaeda, depending on whether you are Donald Rumsfeld.

Son of Weekly Bags a Rhino

I’m in Kenya for a few weeks and I took the afternoon off yesterday to go to Nairobi National Park. Unfortunately the most charismatic megafauna were too far away to capture with my digital camera, so until I get them developed, you’ll just have to settle for second best:


Putting the Nairobi in Nairobi National Park (or is it the other way around?).



Egrets: I've had a few.



Zebra crossing.



Here in Kenya, punk is still in.



Sunset over the Ngong hills.
