Today’s photo:You’ll appreciate our high-speed checkout facilities.

Shot in the glamorous Erith waterfront on the Thames estuary. A four minute long exposure shot featuring one of the many items of supermarket hardware to be found in the river at this point. I have a few more of these to come – I recently discovered that Erith has many items of interest that are gradually decaying in the water, so am returning to this lovely area.

The morning scales reading (net weight, pre-breakfast) was also unexpectedly low, but despite the lack of any immediate requirement to try to lose weight,  I resolved to run on the…

  • Womens football final – Japanese fans really quite scrutable

    ByDMcA

    Wonderful evening at the women’s football final between USA and Japan.  I ended up in the Japanese fans section for some reason, and they were a delight.  But they were not inscrutable.  Oh no. I must say, the women’s game played at this level is a delight.  The fans were respectful, sober, and mostly clapped…

  • Smoke

    Today’s photo:Smoke. In between the extended periods of summer rain the English like to take their kit off, and lie sparko in the parko having a nice smoke. Shot last summer in the little park adjacent to the Oxo tower in London’s South Bank. I liked the guy’s expansive smoking style, his impressive tattoo and…

  • Chromatic love

    ByDMcA

    Taken in the Bo-Kaap district of Cape Town.  The walls are really that colour. In fact I turned down the brightness and saturation for this shot. The area is very well known, but the residents can rightly be a bit prickly about being blankly photographed as though they are in some kind of zoo.  I…
