Lea Bridge Road roundabout. When I moved to Clapton in 1997 this roundabout and the underpass were notorious, mugging central. Looks quite pretty now.

No Marty, that's still not pretty. You've lived in London too long. SIL house is 100m from there btw, I know it all too well.

How far are ye officially allowed to travel for walks and exercise?
We can now travel up to 5km from home for exercise. Further travel distance is allowed for shopping but thats based on rural distances to local town, not someone in Brixton deciding to shop in Watford or Brighton.

I'm not sure. I think we were originally allowed to drive to undertake our daily exercise so long as the exercise took up more time than the drive. Now, I think it's supposedly unlimited so long as we don't drive into Wales (or possibly Scotland?) I'm unlikely to drive that far, being in the south east of England, so I hadn't really taken notice of the full rules.

Next he'll be telling us it compares favourably with the Royal Crescent in his home city.

I'm also finding it hard to stay motivated, even if I know that getting out into the fresh air will make me feel better. As someone who has pretensions at being a street photographer and who has been hanging round this area for years before lockdown, I just don't see anything worth looking at any more - it just all blurs into an overfamiliar whole.

I've been trying to take something from Daido Moriyama's "stray dog photography" philosophy, just randomly wandering and randomly taking pictures (which is why I set my app to random). Except that I suspect this was a philosophy he simply invented to describe him wandering round Tokyo for decades and taking pictures of absolute bullshit, when journalists asked him about it.

The song is what turned my head - absolutely captivating.

I did remember that I have a Digital Harinezumi and dug it out of a cupboard so might use that. It's proper shit

Ok, tomorrow I will only take photos with the DH on Hard B&W setting.

 

[not a trot]

Fucking lonely at work. On the upside I get the biscuits tin to myself.

Went for a 22-mile bike ride after not having been on it in years. Now I can't feel my arse.

When you compare it to what it used to look like though.

Today, I headed west and then south until I hit the North Downs Way.

















And in the gap towards the right of the photo above was...









I walked through a patch of woodland which was almost entirely yew trees

Headless angels in the graveyard

Random high contrast and a man playing a saxaphone (thumbnails).

The loon graffiti on the sign in the fourth pic reads "No More Lies No More Deception", "Love Hugs", "A VIRUS IS NOT AIR BORN It's injected!" and "NO MORE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY".

Dartmoor. Glad that the bit we went for was quiet, apparently they closed a lot of the carparks on the central and western bits as it was so busy.

E2A eastern, I meant eastern

'Interesting' fact, I went to the demolition of the 3 Council blocks that used to stand there, so did Top Gear , who placed a Toyota Pick up Truck on the top of one of the blocks, it survived the demolition and the engine still started.

Me too! I lived on Downs Park road at the time.

Pics from state sanctioned dinner preparation..

 

[kebabking]

started at 0610, out for 2 hours - saw 3 big Fallow does, a Fox, an Owl, and a Jay that simply wouldn't stay in one place long enough for me to take a picture.

Hail the State!
