Title: A Splash Of Colour
Location: The Viper, Mill Green
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Another grey day. This splash of colour brightened things up a bit over lunch, which I spent at The Viper with a client. Apparently, it’s the only pub in the UK by that name.
Title: Bricklayers Lampshades
Location: Bricklayers Arms, Fitzrovia, London
Camera: Canon EOS 300D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: Another London Web Week event this evening, this time the Web Standards Group meeting about Findability. All interesting geek stuff. Afterwards, most of us repaired to the Bricklayers for a pint or two. Since none of the other pictures I took today have any photographic merit (!), this is the one you’ve got as Picture Of The Day.
Title: The Old Ship
Location: Heybridge Basin
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: On my way to stay with my parents near Colchester, I decided to take the back route and stopped off at Heybridge Basin for some late afternoon shots. It had rained heavily earlier in the day, but by 4:30pm the sun was out, there were fluffy white clouds, and a breeze so bracing it could blow you into the Canal! The Old Ship is the pub right at the end of the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation (which runs between Chelmsford and Maldon), where it meets the Blackwater Estuary. The lock gates are rarely open, but do provide an easy way for pedestrians to cross from one side to the other.
