that is a nice documentation of that thing. photographing it through a tree was a good idea.
Lawrence: I must go and check this out one day
elaine: 12th Jun 2006 - 16:46 GMT

sorry if what i said was a bit plank. i can get like that sometimes... the first shot is the most interesting photo btw, but the rest make good context.
I.T.U.C.: 12th Jun 2006 - 17:56 GMT
elaine: No sarcasm. I note your influence on the bloggs. So I thank you for your interest.
Please get use to my thanks, coz base my life of N.A.S.A (Nice And Safe Attitude); Peace Out...
elaine: 12th Jun 2006 - 19:10 GMT
ok, soz.
being a bit of a sark myself sometimes i get paranoid and judge people by my own appalling standards...
thanks for the esteem. would it be right to say props? do i have the lingo or is it squinty?

I hate it, this is not right for the financial district of Canary Wharf, better placed in Piccadilly!

There is an event venue not too far from this sculpture called docklands arena. I went there to see the Chemical Brothers back in the New Year of 2000/2001.
The name of the band says it all. I left the venue at 3am totally off of my face on a multitude of class 1 chemical stimulants and reached the traffic lights about half an hour later.
Man, I was stuck there for about an hour tripping out like never before at the amazing light show(trust me, acid makes everything amazing).

Stop... Stop... Go... Stop... Go... Stop... Go... Go... Stop...
