A shot of mine from a couple of years ago, but one I rediscovered this morning and was reminded that I quite like it.

What are those sculptures supposed to represent? The Byzantine twistings of government?

Heh. They're actually meant for securing your bicycle to!

If you get down and look straight down the line, all the bits line up to look like an arty wire bicycle.

Groovy in real-life, but doesn't work as a photo...

I've been told this is called "City Hall" (in London). I call it "that". I still don't know for sure what it is ;)

There is a James Bond film where he flies out of a window on the other side in a power-boat. I half expected something similar to happen when I took the photo, but hey - nothing (visible) happened! It's just across the river from Tate Britain.

It's funny isn't it? Some days I'm too shy to take the camera out of the bag, and other days I see razor wire, I dive straight in. It's all in the mind... :)
