Winter work photographs

[yen_powell]

I drove to work this morning. Usually when I get in a car whole swathes of the UK come to a grinding halt due to traffic gridlock, me, four wheels and the rest of the UK don't get on. But this morning, I managed to get the whole way in and the whole way back without too much of a hold up. Naturally this was too much good luck, so to balls it up, the work gang didn't turn up on time so I had 45 minutes to kill and I was next to Victoria Park.

The sun was low and evil to drive into, but I like taking pictures when it is like that. There was even a girl sketching one of the views I photographed. I took a picture of her whilst she was being creative.

That's the Regents Canal, but the rough end. It runs through to Limehouse Basin and then the Thames via a lock gate.

I remember going to visit the Peace Pagoda in Milton Keynes in the mid 90's.

I had a bright yellow and blue jacket on with the council's name stamped all over it. The park visitors just assumed I was taking pictures for official purposes.

The work pictures are boring. the only excitement today was when a Romanian road worker on a nearby colleague's site came and told me the sun was in his eyes and he had driven his digger into a cast iron lamp column and it had snapped off flush with the ground and was now laying on the floor. I arranged for an emergency disconnection with our street lighting bloke, told my colleague by phone what the twat had done. Then I told the upset Romanian he was in luck, I would pay for two new lamp columns, one of which he had just skilfully removed, so he wouldn't have to tell his boss what he had done and fill out reams of insurance forms.

I don't know why, but I found myself singing YMCA in a welsh accent under my breath just now.
