the stile above is over a barbed wire fence.  worth carrying one of those round in kit form in case you ever need to use one.

a true professional can set up his camera and hold a teacake and crumpet on his plate without them falling off.  he’s learnt well.

here’s a short study of BT Tower reflected in puddles.  I’ve got 7 shots all together which should take us Tuesday when hopefully i’ll be going up it.  i say hopefully as last time i was due to go up we ended up in the basement and only saw the inside of a conference room !

i consider myself pretty observant, but i failed to properly notice this mural despite working by it for over 4 years.  i popped back for a meeting yesterday and ‘spotted’ it !
