Roadworks

Roadworks

Even pedestrians get hit with roadworks. Especially in London. Everybody gets hit with construction work. You can't go anywhere in this city without passing construction work. It's mammoth. But I suppose that everything's going to crumble faster when it's this old and with this many people running around on it every day.

Bus Stop

Not my bus stop

The 94 to Piccadilly Circus leaves from the bus stop on Bath Road. Sometimes I get that to work if I'm not in the mood to get the tube.

The Street Outside My Flat

Turnham Green Terrace

I'd often use the last few frames of a roll of film just out the window at whatever was happening. Most of them look the same, some of them are out of focus, some blurred, some just really, really boring. So it took me a long time to realise that I really liked this one. Which I do.

Not a paperless office

Office

Honestly, it isn't ordinarily that messy. But then it wouldn't look as interesting clean, would it?

Kitchen View (with Light Leak)

Sky

When the weather is clear, this is what I get to look out on as I make my breakfast every morning. So really not every morning so much as once every now and then, at least until summer.

I've Got The Greatest View From Here

London View
Yep, that's the fantastic view from the window above my bed. Thrilling. The only good thing about that window is that it is really good for getting mid morning sun, but as I'm only able to enjoy it when I'm home (so weekends) and when the sun is out (so rarely) the window is only actually good for letting in just enough of the cold wind to be annoying enough to be a little chilly, but not enough for me to justify turning the heater on.

Day Glo Yellow

Russell Square

I remember in high school a friend of mine who went to raves and the like would stick reflective patches to his clothes, I guess as would be fashionable in the rave/dance party situation. Now everywhere I go I see everyone wearing them. Schoolkids on excursions have them on, workmen travelling on the tube stand out fantastically against the sea of heavy, dark winter coats, I have a whole box of them in my office awaiting filing (either being actually or euphemistically filed is yet to be determined). Tim, you were a trendsetter ahead of your time.

Eastbound District Line to Upminster

Turnham Green Station

A friend of mine called me the Tube Whisperer because it seems wherever I go, if the city has an underground train network, I can find my way around it incredibly easily and with only brief, if any, reference to maps. The only place I take a little longer is New York...if they all had names instead of letters I'd do better, I'm sure.
