One from about 7 miles in to my century ride yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised with how well it came out.

Overcast so struggled to get a clear pic, Manvers Waterfront just off the TPT to Barnsley
booze and cake
probably out cycling
Big Ben is getting an exoskeleton
And over in West Brompton is what looks like the world championships of Top Trumps for cranes. The red one is massive, I was wondering how the hell it got there, I'm pretty sure it was'nt on the back of the lorry on the left, that looks toy size in comparison. I'm guessing it comes apart in sections and was built on site.
EDIT: just googled it, It was made by a company called ALE
and it took 6 weeks to build using 2 other cranes, has a lift capacity of 4300 tonnes, at 120m high is twice the height of Nelson's column and has a ground space or approx 2 football pitches
.It is being used to lift the beams which supported the weight of the Earls Court exhibition centre above the London Underground lines, the largest of which is called 'Big Bertha' and weighs 1500 tonnes. They plan to build an 8000 home development on the site, a new High St and a 5 acre park. Blimey.

It's nice having a view like this on the doorstep, after the commute home...

about time!Sam wrestled Thomas off the back of "his" armchair (big mistake)!
Sam was firmly put in his place by the mild mannered big guy
who reclaimed his spot.Sam is quite mouthy and aggressive which is quite common in hand reared kittens, so not his fault.
Mr M says Thomas is "large and in charge".
Sam agrees.

Looks a bit like the area around Formby Point ?
