I found an easy way to create my own patterned platform sandals...if you'd like, you can read about it here:
The refurbished Blackfriars station extends right across the river so has very long platforms which one has to walk along to get to where the shorter trains stop.
When I saw this opportunity, I thought to myself is this really 2013? The crew of the Stanier '8F' are anxious to move the loco on from Carlisle Citadel station to Upperby for servicing, watched by a gent dressed in a flat cap and tweed jacket (and also wearing braces but not in view unfortunately!). This cameo substituted for my lack of a time machine.

Holly stands 211 feet tall and sits about two miles off shore over the South Ellwood Oil Field,pumping oil from 32 wells. Holly was built in 1966 by ARCO, sold to Mobil in 1993, and subsequently to Venoco in 1997. Holly has been inactive since the Refugio Oil Spill in May 2015 (ruptured oil pipeline). In April 2017, Venoco filed for bankruptcy and decommissioned the platform, which is now owned by the State of California. Whether or not the platform gets completely dismantled isn't clear at this point; but the days of oil production in state waters off the coast of Goleta appear to be over (even though California and the Federal Government are at odds regarding oil production in state waters off the California Coast (there's 15 active platforms in federal waters off the Santa Barbara County's coast: www.sbcountyplanning.org/energy/maps/map_with_projects.asp)).

another Holga shot from the camera swap weekend. Interestingly enough dumbfunk took a shot of the same subject (different number) with my Leica - it's quite interesting to see how different perspectives on the same thing give totally different results...
It's also interesting how light afftected the Holga. Most of my shots were taken with an overcast sky, then suddenly the sun came out in the late afternoon and as a result my last 2 shots were much more saturated. I did not adjust the colours in this shot - it's the way the plastic camera produced them...

Myra waits for the train. Her main source of income these days is a job cleaning a client's house in Manhattan, which pays $300 a week. She will work three days there and then spend the rest of the week in the Bronx and on Staten Island, doing babysitting, housesitting, and cleaning for the friends who give her a place to stay.
I saw a girl wearing platform sandals like these in Penang, and I bought some for myself on Zappos last summer, thinking I would wear them when we went back to Malaysia.
Then we moved to Vancouver instead. But I hope to get lots of mileage out of them this summer. I never knew platforms were so comfortable! They won't be my last pair.

I walk to the front of the station, past the long and snaking lines of people waiting to check in for the Eurostar, then along the crowded and litter-strewn pavement to Euston, past the usual sights, people having breakfast in the various hotels, and homeless people sleeping in shop doorways. Welcome to Brexit Britain.
Euston is a brutalist carbuncle, which will soon be swapt away as did the neo-classical station in the 1960s. The concourse is packed with people waiting for the platforms to be announced for their trans. Most, I knew, would be waiting for the same train as I was, the half ten to Glasgow.
I had had 35 minutes to catch the train, and after the route march along the Euston Road, to stand around waiting until seven minutes before departure time, then when platform 13 was announced, there was a stampede as half the passengers moved to make their way to the slope down to the train.
Then we had to stand in line to show our tickets, and then allowed onto the platform to our 11 coach Pendalino.
I had paid upfront for a seat in 1st class, so had a reserved seat, a nice seat with a table with the huge picture window that would be my source of entertainment for the next two hours and twenty minutes.
I love travelling by train.
The doors closed on time, and we quickly accelerated out of the station, into the tunnels taking us into and through Camden, then beside the huge freight yards out of London to Watford and into the rolling countryside beyond.
All the way to Birmingham, the line shadows the older Grand Union Canal, and occasionally I could see hump-backed bridges, or waterside pubs, and all the way, narrow boats chugging along, going nowhere fast. Which the more I thought about seems a very sensible thing.
The train tilts round the sharp bends of the West Coast Main Line, through the Trent Valley, bypassing Birmingham to Stafford, then up to Crewe and Warrington.
In first class, we were fed and watered. Not with an at table meal, but a box of snacks and two passes of the coffee cart, which for two hours wasn't bad.
Next stop was Wigan; my destination.
Home of the pie.
And my home for the next 24 hours or so.
