The diary and photos of Chris Beach. I'm into windsurfing, coding, badminton, drawing and composing music using computers and synths.

Let's start with a quote:
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours" Stephen Roberts

lodge on loch lomond

Cat and I spent our two-year anniversary in a romantic lodge on the banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland. We hired a car and explored lakeside villages, islands and mountains, getting into knee-deep snow at times. The Scots we encountered were wonderfully friendly and welcoming.

jon's photo featured on bbc news 24

Our cottage break in Devon coincided with some of the worst winds and floods of the year. On a windy cliff in Bude, Jon snapped this photo of Alex:

Alex clings for dear life to a bench in Bude

Clearly a faked pose but the BBC graphics are real! Jon submitted the photo to yourpics@bbc.co.uk and it was on TV, on BBC News 24 yesterday morning.

first photo taken with the canon 400d

Just got a new camera - the Canon 400d. Very excited about owning a digital SLR! The first decent lens (a Canon 10-22mm wide-angle) is on order, but in the meantime here's a panorama I took with the kit lens and stiched together. Click it for the full-size version.
