Smoking woman
This photograph I took in Tooting from the top deck of a bus in 2015 is getting a lot of views in my Flickr account.
It is of a woman having a cigarette in an alley just off Mitcham Road, by Tooting Broadway. She appears to be pregnant, is what it is, I think.
Repost: “Edwin Hubble Discovers the Universe”
In celebration of the Hubble telescope’s thirtieth birthday, I’m reposting this article from Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), as I love the image on this glass photographic plate.

Man came, fixed streetlamp, left
They came in a van with a cherry picker on the back and did something to all the street lamps in my street. Replaced the internals for modern LED units, I think. I'll know if they are any different when they come on tonight.

Wrong boots
Today, for the first time in my life, I managed to go out without noticing that I was wearing two different types of boots today.
A visit to Turkey
June 2013 - another visit to Turkey to see friends in Istanbul and then to spend some time on the lovely south coast soaking in the rays, swimming in the warm, blue sea and taking some photographs.

Ever so slight packaging overkill
I just received a package from Amazon containing an SD card reader (it's that tiny little white box). As you can see, it arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Amazon. I think your packaging was a little bit too much though.
