nearly exactly one year on in the same place as live8 i spotted this dummy (and could you imagine my surprise when i saw a Farringdon Lan sign in the background - not really)

i took a picture of this as i thought it was a view of the wireless future where every street or area has its own wifi computer network. Farringdon is fairly high-techy area so that seemed appropriate.

but imagine my surprise when i looked at the photo more closely. click on the picture for a big view and look at the right side of the name plate ! This sign was quite high up the wall and i didn't spot it at the time.

i love it when i discover undiscovered things in my discoveries !

this photo might sum up the christian life. christians are to be reflection a christ for the world to see (note the surveilance camera top left).

my reflection is pretty rusty - most of the time you wouldn't know me from adam.

this is an oasis in clerkenwell which contains london's first fixed working hydrogen fuel cell which is a cause for celebration. catch it while you can.

as if we needed more evidence of bollards' inabilities to play hide and seek, here's one hiding behind a giant arrow. the arrow is pointing to its feet ! what dreadful hiding.

this tourist is taking her life in hand by letting these pidgies land on her head. they are known to carry horrible diseases as well as being unpleasant to look at.

and the pigeons are just as bad. boom tish.

there were some great mechanical robot things in trafalgar square last evening. i took a few photos and some video which i was going to post but then i saw Russell's entry on the same thing and his excellent video so i haven't bothered ! have a mooch round his blog whilst you are over there (don't forget to come back again !)

however, i did manage to get a picture of the chap who built them, seen clearly here with his back to us in the british summertime rain.
