cyclist dismount and the floating bollard
i was pleased with the shot above just as it was, but then i noticed the floating bollard.
very mysterious
up up line down bus
once you’ve played on a dance mat you can next walk down the street without involuntary jumping your legs about when you see a sign like this.
better than the actual tree
these trees are outside buckingham palace. they seem to have replaced the bark with a wooden fence. nice idea. real trees don’t look wooden enough.
guest glove
i’d like a bit of snow, but we usually miss out in southern england which is a shame.
no sleeping
the ideal sign for insomniacs ? no swimming either by the looks of things.
post office shortage
turns out this is a topical story as post office closures are upon us in greatest of all britains (see here). a number of closures were announced today.
anyway, i took this photo last week as it was a teeny postbox. like much smaller than usual. small enough for a toddler to pop a letter in (which is what they love doing, so is ideal). it’s also good for the stooping elderly.
when i saw it over a grass verge i thought “wouldn’t it be great to have a person next to it for scale” and suddenly this jogger ran by. a quick grab of the camera from its holster, shoot, fire, and there you have it.
geocachers on the ridgeway
the motorway of its time is pretty empty these days
how computers know things
if you’ve never opened up a computer you’ll be surprised to learn that they get all their knowledge and information by reading newspapers like the daily telegraph. when you surf the web the computer is actually creating the pages for you based on it’s own experience.
funkypancake only exists in the mind of your computer. fact.
view from BT Tower
this one is worth clicking for a big view. it’s the last one from my recent trip, and you can see right out to docklands.
