St Paul’s Cathedral is an amazing building that you can never really take for granted. Unfortunately most of it is swathed in scaffolding for its restoration but I managed to get this rather nice shot of the dome while cycling home today.

Thursday, July 24th, 2003

Monk on the tube
Thursday, July 24th, 2003
Westminster tube station was re-designed a few years ago, when the new Jubilee Line Extension was created. It’s designed to look slightly futuristic, I think, with moulded concrete and rough walls illuminated by harsh lighting. The large open spaces are criss-crossed with huge cylindrical beams. Quite a sci-fi feel to the place – you can imagine playing some sort of multi-player game there (in fact, it would be excellent for paintball…).
So it was quite bizarre to see what looks like a monk-type chap chatting to what looked like some people in Royal Navy uniforms. The contrast was too much to resist taking a picture! It almost makes me think of Doctor Who, or a slight tatty looking Jedi wandering around…

Ornamental gate

I was exploring lots of bits of London today and found by chance this gate to a nature reserve in Buckhurst Hill.
Bow Church

I work near Bow Church. There’s a pub on the corner of the courtyard so went for a few beers there last night, where you get this rather nice view of the steeple.
