christmas is finally over

i saw two signs that christmas was properly over last week.  a santa hat in a bin, and a branch less tree wandering naked in to the street.

we’ve still got 6 christmas cards stuck to a door in our house, so it’s not quite all over for us yet

big ben in the evening

the great thing about this time of year is that it gets dark early so i’ve been able to grab some nice evening sunlight shots like these.

it’s only in the photo below that he looks a little bemused at his situation

no idea what it’s called of course.  that would involve some reasearch.  ho hum

man power for man

probably best not to ask.  it was one of those chinese herbal shops, and i don’t think it was dodgy.


a rather fancy staircase

apparently this was the first free standing staircase.  i can’t confirm whether that was the case.  but it’s very fancy nevertheless

the internet

this chap is the internet.  or at least that’s what his head proclaimed. 

he looked a bit worried when i took his photo, but when i said i loved his hat he was very pleased.  and we left it at that.

perhaps he’s one of those ‘internet of people’ that we used to hear about.
