YouTube, launched in February 2005, has grown quickly into one of the most popular websites on the Internet. The 18 months old website has 72 million individual each month and 100 million video viewed everyday.

Just to share the news with you, will discuss this further.

I didn’t have much ideas on what to shoot, just attended the event and hoping to bag some nice shoots home.

The Tour of Britain is a blue riband cycling event that returned to the British cycling calendar in 2004 after an absence of five years. Cycling is a hugely popular sport and British cyclists are among the best in the world, winning five gold medals in the 2004 Olympics and Paralympics.

The Tour of Britain has formerly been known as the Milk Race, the Kellogg’s Tour and the Pru Tour of Britain. Our aspiration was to re-launch the event along the lines of the Tour de France, which has no title sponsor but a spectrum of public and private sector support. We hope that this will add sustainability and longevity to this important event….For more information, please log on to Tour of Britain 2006 website.

I managed to get this shoot, my favorite shoot of the day.

If you are interested to view more photos, you know where to go.

Okie, I set off alone to Manchester to meet with Rashid and his girl friend, Ming. After the lunch, we still have about an hour margin, so we went to Princess’ Street to hunt for perfect spot. I was a bit disappointed at first because there were barriers to seperate the footway and the street, which I don’t like because I know it will be crowded, people will be pushing each other and I only can shoot from one spot, which will not help my composition. So we went further up Princess Street and finally we spotted a place which was cleared of barriers, hurray!

Hundred of thousands people attended the parade.

According to the sources, the frantic terrorists were planning to bomb not less than 8 planes flying from UK to USA, and it has caused absolute chaos on all the major international airports including Heathrow, Luton, Manchester Airport and Gatwick.

Thousands of flights were axed and many tourists are affected. Easyjet has cancelled 300 flights in total and the country’s security alert has raised from Severe to Critital Level for the first time.

If the plans were successful, the terrorists will bring down airliners over major cities, in both UK and USA. I couldn’t imagine if they trigger their selfmade bomb and kill thousands of passanger in the air. The blood and flesh will pour from the sky, not to mention the debris of aeroplanes will hit thousands more on the ground. It could be the worst terrorist attack in the history, even worse than 911.

What the fuck? What is in the twisted mind of these cold blooded terrorists?

I am absolutely furious when I learned the news on my way home from work.

24 home breed Britons were arrested so far. All of them are Pakistan origin and believe to be muslim. Don’t they appreciate the country that gives them world class social and medical welfare, educations and living standards? Is this how they repay the country that raise them? If they really hate UK and USA, why are they still living here and taking advantage of many tax payers hard earn money?

If the terrorists were to destroy the country where they were born, raised and educated, where their friends and family living in, where they enjoy the true freedom, yes, shame on these bastards, they should rot in hell!!!

I urge, if these conscienceless animals are guilty, please, for the sake of everything on earth, send them straight to hell! If they have no mercy on innocent lifes, why should we have mercy on them? Put them into jail and after what, 10? 20? may be 30 years later they will be released and another tragic is await. Who knows?

Again, why can’t we “create” peace? We, human, claimed the most intelligence creatures on earth could create anything from nothing, but why no peace still? Endless wars in Middle East have killed countless children and women, don’t the bastards in rule have a little bit of mercy? Aren’t their heart made of flesh?

No words in dictionary can express my outrages.
