Live Earth, Live Geography

It was a busy wekend of music in London (and also Sport of course...)

At Wembley Stadium one of Al Gore's LIVE EARTH concerts took place. There were also concerts in lots of other venues around the world.

Venues were:

London

New York

Shanghai

Sydney

Rio de Janeiro
Tokyo
Johannesburg
Hamburg

There was also a special broadcast from the Rothera scientific base on Antarctica.
The band was called Nunatak (a very geographical name... look up what the word means...)

Keeping the GGiP campaign going was Danny O Callaghan. He had hundreds of Live Earth, Live Geography badges to hand out, and also some publicity hands...
Below are some of the images that Danny took on the day... Share the Geo-love !

The long hand of the law...


Morning ladies... Fancy a badge ?


Setting up camp near the front of the crowd...

Outside the new Wembley

The hand was visible at the start of the concert, during the set by Genesis.
Genesis were playing later that same day in Manchester at Old Trafford, because my sister had tickets to see them there... Wonder how they got from London to Manchester ?

You can also see the hand at the midway point of the Madonna performance of 'Ray of Light'....

Coming soon - some embedded YouTube links

And if you find a wallet it could be Noel's...

Also check out the forthcoming film: The 11th Hour.

Geography and Isobars Image Copyright: BBC - visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather for the latest forecast ! An isobar is a line joining places which are experiencing equal atmospheric pressure. Last night was a very windy night down in Norfolk, and across most of the country - the synoptic chart above is for mid-day today, but yesterday's chart showed the classic pattern of a mid-latitude depression. The sycamore tree in my garden lost all the leaves it had been clinging on to, and bushes were tapping against the windows. On the way home from a fancy dress party, my Noddy Holder hat blew off and I ended up in someone's front garden chasing it round in a gyre... Of course the storms were nothing compared to the problems created by the weather in the Philippines. See this BBC NEWS article for more on the effects of Hurricane Durian. Interestingly, durian is one of the top search phrases on Google for leading people to GeographyPages - not sure why... Geography and Music (Cont.....

Picture: David Rayner CfBT Conference for Geography for new KS3 Curriculum Thanks to the 70+ Heads of Geography and other colleagues in various capacities who attended the CfBT Eastern Region Conference at the Holiday Inn in Norwich yesterday. It was hard work (especially as I followed it up with 2 hours plus at a parents evening...) but enjoyable, and good to talk to people and get their ideas for how they were going to be "creatively subversive...." Particular thanks to David Rayner and Ruth Totterdell, the National Subject Leads, my RSA colleagues John Harrison and Katharine Hutchinson, John Lyon from the GA, and Jon Wolton from the RGS, and of course all the delegates, particularly Lucy and Clare. A few images below, taken by me: What to ditch / add ? Katharine's 'significance' workshop Importance statement John Harrison getting "funky" Ruth in the morning... The venue... GA welcome banner... If you were present and want any other copies of the d...
