the mysterious post box

i passed this post box last monday – this is it on the way home with a zooming post van behind it

i deliberately went this way back home to see if it was still surrounded by the barriers i had seen that morning

can you believe any postbox would be so busy it would need riot control techniques to restrict traffic to its mouth ?  perhaps sunday collections are so rare these days that extreme calming measures are required ?

world’s longest hug

there was some competition going on at paddington station last night for the world’s longest hug.  i noticed the st john’s ambulance people were standing by in case there were any difficulties.

a few other photograghers were out too.  i was glad i’d walked the route the day before else i wouldn’t have known where i was going for all the fog.  (not quite) a real pea souper.

is this a crying statue in brompton cemetry ?

these statues are life sized, so this was quite a big grave !

space station

my zoom lens is so strong i can see in to space.  all the way to the three quarter space station sign in fact

crazy numbering

1-7 then it all goes a bit strange.  not sure if the miniature is anything to by.  the little chap to the right is quite small too.

i’m on a training course at stamford bridge for two days.  but don’t panic.  it involves no exercise.  although by the end i might be more assertive.  (if that’s ok with you)

pigeon worrier

today and yesterday i’m on a work course at Chelsea football club.  during the breaks we popped out on to the terrace to look at the view.  at one point this bird landed on the railing next to our seating area.  there were two of these flying machines apparently worrying pigeons
