Just a simple candid street style Snapograph captured at Trafalgar Sq London UK of a guy sitting on a wall appearing to be contemplating.

CRACKS - Week 1

Every weekend, Conrail gathered locomotives along the former Reading tracks serving Pennsylvania’s anthracite regions (now R&N), and sent them to Enola for servicing. The westbound move is seen here at Rockville, just minutes from its destination. At the other end, Conrail GP10 7580 is pulling eight ex-Reading SW900’s and the GP15-1 seen here.
MOC: Post Office. A modern interpretation of the classic set 6689, "Post-Station".
Part of my "Updated Classics" series - an ever-growing number of sets I've re-interpreted in order to make them fit better with modern LEGO City vehicles and buildings.
I kept this one quite small, as I didn't feel it needed to grow so much to still be realistic, but I've added what I think of as an expansion to the original building, a post storage room. The colours are the same, there's a mailbox integrated in the facade, and the bicycle remains. The stickers are the same style as the originals, but these come from MiniStickers.nl - they're selling a nice sheet with various mail-related stickers.
The building style is reminiscent of the one I've used for other recent buildings of mine, but with the difference that this has a slanted roof, unlike the others that are flat. But that's because the original has a slanted roof.
The building also has attachment points placed according to the LEGO Modular building standard on the left side, which means it can be integrated in a modular layout.
“Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.”

"I have learned to appreciate giving up control in order to allow myself permission to simply experiment and take chances with my imagery. It’s the spontaneity and coincidence of this type of work that results in the gift of capturing a vision that would otherwise go unseen. The majority of these images have little work done beyond what could traditionally be done in the darkroom (cropping, dodging and burning, color and tonal corrections). All of the motion is captured in camera."

I wanted to get out this morning and shoot (and post) something on 10-10-10. At the same time I've been wanting to try something that was inspired by Julieanne Kost in this article. The only post-processing were some contrast adjustments, removing a sensor spot, adding a mask for the edging and adding my icon.
I'll be back in a day or two with more shots from my recent journey to the sea....
