Stay Connected - Keep Talking

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 16/08/2025 - Connections .

I first thought of family connections and was going to capture a family tree in the front of a book about Adeliza , second wife of Henry the First , but realised I have touched on this in a previous SSC entry , so think again!! I know , the connection between the tractor unit and the trailer of an articulated lorry - ah , not too many of them here . Third time lucky and this time a sight seen from the top level of the main car park in the centre of Leatherhead a big array of transmitters or what not for keeping connected on our mobile phones . As a society we now seem to be totally attached to these mobiles oblivious to our surroundings just to be connected with each other at all times . Therefore , sites like this monstrosity spring up everywhere to help maintain the system keeping all the connections running . This one is on the roof of the old Thorndike Theatre ,now just Leatherhead Theatre or the roof of an adjacent building .

I took a slightly wider view to show the array in context with the surroundings above the older rooftops of Leatherhead .

So keep connected and keep talking as Stephen Hawking said on that British Telecom TV advert back in the day .
