♫ DLR Band - Weekend With The Babysitter ♫
When you wish upon a star
Well, wish no more 'cause here I are
So you think that I got no respect
She's a no limits kind of creature
So let's hope that mom and daddy
Are at a triple feature
Suddenly occurs to me
Maybe I need therapy, yeah
'Cause I'm also hot for teacher
Telephone
Her voice is steady she knows
Little Elvis is combat ready
All right
Weekend with the babysitter
Weekend with the babysitter
View across the River Lagan from the SSE Arena to the Belfast Harbour Commissioners’ building and, behind it, Sinclair Seaman’s Church.
The first section of the Harbour Commissioners’ building, designed by the Commissioners' engineer George Smith, was opened in 1854 and erected at a cost of £8,000. A subsequent extension, by the celebrated Belfast architect William Henry Lynn, was completed in 1895 at a cost of £14,349. The style of architecture reflects that of an Italian palazzo.
Sinclair Seaman’s Church is a Presbyterian foundation built in 1857-8 by Sir Charles Lanyon, the key architect of High Victorian Belfast, for visiting seafarers.
Yet another piece of Excel sheet anti-architecture is being built next to it, but I trust from how it is shaping up that the view across the river is being preserved. There are no guarantees with that given Northern Ireland’s planning system is as dysfunctional as the rest of its public administration and even parts of the riverfront that were beautifully reimagined as part of the late 1990s retrieval of the waterfront have already been lost.
Not the best of shot, was a bit rushed for time, need to go back here with a stand and the proper gear, including gloves, it was freezing!

This is a photograph of the ExCel center by the Royal Victoria Docks in Newham, London. It is, apparently, the only international convention center in London.
I waited for quite a while before getting this shot without anyone in it. Taken during my favourite blue hour.

Night time at the Excel Centre in the Royal Victoria Dock. I wanted to capture the three people sitting in the centre of the picture in contrast to the movement of the people walking past.
