A door , in Crete. Particularly like how they decided to have the number 27 on there twice - just to avoid any confusion about what number it is.

Hey up folks

This one I took today, on a walk up towards Highgate Woods in north London. I like the wooden gate. And, indeed, the hedge behind it.

Thanks to KJ for being the first person to comment on my new 27 Blog. Glad you like it!

And, of course, if anyone spots anything with the number 27 on it wherever you are - take a picture, email it to me (click on 'email me' by the links) and I'll stick it up on the internet's home for the number 27.

This is a wheelie bin that I spotted on the street in Budapest last October after a night out (it's a great city, well worth a visit).

Particularly like the triple 27 action on this one!

Hello again!

This is a chap in Virgin Megastore in Time Square, New York City checking out listening post 27. I'm not exactly sure what'son post 27, but post 26 is the rather marvellous Franz Ferdinand, a British band who were just starting to take the US by storm at this point.

I like the way the bloke looks so relaxed - looks like he might stay and check out the whole album!

This is at the Athens 2004 Olympics - Autralia vs Argentina at the Karaiskaki stadium in Athens. The game finished 0-0. Argentina should've won, had all the chances, but Australia missed a glorious chance to snatch it late on.

Argentina went on to win the gold medal.

This is Nimes coliseum - a 2,000 year old Roman coliseum in the middle of Nimes, France.

One of the most amazing places I've ever watched a gig from. That's my brother with the blue backpack, and his girlfriend Beccy.

These go-karts were in a lovely little park we went to in Nimes in Southern France - we went to see a Dido gig in the old colliseum.

Actually, did you know that a very famous type of cloth comes from Nimes. Cloth de Nimes they used to call it. These days most people call it denim. True story!!

Another sign from Glasto 2004 (see below). Clearly the 27 Groove graffiti person got about a bit. Doesn't seem all that likely that anyone became a fan of 27 Groove from seeing their name written on a toilet sign, but then I guess you never know.

This is a sign at Glastonbury festival in 2004. Someone has scrawled 27 Groove on it. They are, I think, a band.

This is from the same football match as below (a bit easier to guess with this one). Three minutes later, Freddie Ljungberg opened the scoring for Sweden.

Hello!

Welcome to my new blog, which will give me somewhere to put all the pictures of 27 I've taken over the years. If you're reading this, you're probably one of the very first people to stumble across this blog. I hope you like it!

I like the number 27, not out of superstition or anything, probably just because I was born on the 27th.

As I travel about, I take pictures of 27s. So here's some of them. This one was on a street in downtown San Francisco.
