bracknell
bracknell is a funny place. here is a gold building with a reflection of an equally attractive building.
corporation housing
the phrase ‘corporation housing’ is great. it seems to point to a past which had an optimistic view of the future.
and look at this fantastic building version of a belt buckle !
police horses
i love their little flourescent bottom jackets. helps them show up if you view them from above.

staircase
it’s the whole inside-outside thing of modern buildings. outside staircases, outside reception areas captured in massive areas of glass to stop the elements.
why not just have the desks and offices outside and save building the building ?
obviously you’d need a few paper weights to stop your papers blowing away. but we can work on that.

vote for bollards
it looks like in the UK are starting to limber up for an election later this year. if you live in london you may be able to vote for this bollard, as seen here. “we’re improving your street” it claims.
sadly i suspect the bollards might be a single issue party.
(note ‘bat boy’ on the theatre in the background)
where’s the cleaner ?

marathon photo challenge
i did a training walk for my marathon attempt yesterday evening. i walked from Tate Modern to Paddington in an hour (i went via southbank, up past the houses of parliament, round the outside of St James’ Park, past buckingham palace and then up through Hyde Park). no idea if that’s quick or not as my pedometer seems a bit random at present.
now, i’ve realised that i never actually walk very far without stopping to take photos, so my average speed is a bit slower than i expected.
what i need to do is improve my moving photo technique. here is my first attempt of a moving flash photo:
oh dear.
still, this is what training is all about !
