Wow!

It is not often the I utter an audible exclamation on the way to work, but this morning, as I turned the corner, this was the sight in front of me. I am certain the 90% of my fellow commuters missed it, a few saw me taking a picture and turned to see what I was looking at, only to join my amazement. I wonder if I will ever see its like again.

Wow!

City Workers at Lunch

With the first really good weather of the year, The City Worker, who would usually grab a sandwich to eat at their desk, has a change of behaviour and, instead, finds the nearest open space on which to sit and take the sun. In this case a space near to The Tower of London.

This is the sign of good weather.

Keep Left?

Whilst commuting to work over the past few weeks a thought has struck me.

In the morning my fellow commuters and I follow the simple instructions we are issued and we 'Keep Left'. All walking as near to the left hand wall of all corridors in the station.

When I do the return journey in the evening everyone seems to consciously flaunt the rules and walk as near to the Right as possible.

I have had reason to do the journey in the middle of the day a couple of times recently; everyone is still walking on the Left.

So when does the flow change? At what point of the day do we start to rebel?

Challenge 11

This is probably the simplest layout I have done following the challenges. With the busy papers there seemed less to do.

Challenge 13

Challenge 13 uses some printable elements provided for us by Shimelle. I started by printing them on a variety of papers to see what effects that have. I decided to use a pearlescent paper. This resulted in the elements having a soft cream background, which led me to this photo. I used only one of the elements a a whole piece, the remainder I used for punched elements.

Challenge 14

I seem to have caught the bug for bright, bold papers for a while. This is my version of Challenge 14. This required having four quadrants on the page.

Challenge 15

Challenge 15 is all about scrapping rubbish photos. Shimelle's thought process was about photos that are out of focus, grainy etc, so this photo is not quite what she was describing, but it was still a rubbish photo. Why? Because under the embellishments is a lady wearing the most electric blue top and a girls legs with bright pink flip flops on. But it is the only photo I have been given of my brother in this position. So the challenge for me was how to scrap this without the offending part showing.

So here it is!
