Safe job


The freelancer may not have been as qualified as she stated on her CV

Might take a few seconds to notice what's wrong with this picture . When you do You'll see why I took it ..... Epic fail !

( I'm not in the business of trying to embarrass people and have only posted it because most of the ladies face is obscured ....and it's funny as hell .  )   

Bottom



Found this great stencil of Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson in their Bottom guise today . Good work and it was discretely placed as well . I can't look at this without getting the sax theme tune in my head

Doctor Livingston I presume ?


Picture shows a Congolese man taking a photo on his blackberry of his friend next to the newly unveiled statue of Stanley with artist and sculptor Nick Elphick to the right of picture

Great to see the unveiling of the statue go well today ( many people were worrying about protests )  . I hope people now respect the artwork and do not deface it even if they do have opposition to the man himself  

Artist Nick Elphick has done a great job , lets hope this statue stays in good repair for generations to come 

This pic says it all about today really with just as many cameras as there were people , below are a few links if you wish to learn more about the great explorer  :

Bird of prey



Quite happy of this pic I got today . Driving down a lane after my job I saw a couple of birds of prey darting about .

Who's looking at you ?



This bird was making a fair bit of racket today almost as if he wanted me to notice him and take a picture . Nice to actually get that close as well . Usually there is not much detail as you are too far away

RAF Sea King in Bala



This RAF helicopter was part of a multi service exercise that took place in Bala with rumors that Prince William was flying one of these helicopters . ( As far as I'm aware they were only rumors ) .

Classic quote when I told a lady about who was rumored flying the aircraft she said " Why is he training ? He'd be no use , he's off to Australia soon then getting married ."

I got nice and close , the first aircraft was looked to be piloted by an all female crew .

Tomb Raiders



Got to work this morning and was told this pic was featured in the national newspaper the Daily Express today . Several tombs were broken into by treasure hunters searching for either buried treasure or lead coffins . It's an absolute disgrace what lengths some people will go to to make some cash .
