Happily, there is still some authentic local atmosphere to be savoured. The old ladies from Cannaregio cross the Grand Canal on the vaporetto or the little traghetto gondola with their shopping trolleys each morning, and the markets are still a place where local people can shop for their daily food requirements at reasonably low prices.

Proms Queue by Biggleswade Blue

I was lucky enough to have tickets for the First Night of the Proms. The Proms, for any of my uncultured listeners, is a season (about 6 weeks) of mostly (but not exclusively) classical music sponsored by the BBC, at the Royal Albert Hall. The season culminates in a patriotic knees up "The last night of the proms", which, to be honest, doesn't do it for me.

The first night this year was a performance of Mahler's 8th Symphony. Although it was a bit raggedy in places, it was a terrific night out, a great atmosphere in the hall, and really top quality performances. The boys choir (choristers from St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Abbey) were absolutely superb.

The proms queue is an institution. Every prom holds back 1400 tickets, which they sell on the door on the night. So, you queue, and if you are lucky enough to get a ticket (just £5), you can go to the arena - a sort of middle class and middle aged mosh pit (standing area) in front of the stage, or stand in the gallery - the highest part of the Albert Hall.

Double Queue by Chas Pope

There is just one ticket counter open at this Beijing subway station. However, there were two queues going in different directions - which isn't making things move any faster!

I actually watched this bizarre double-queue form. The original queue was the one on the right of the photograph. Then someone tried to jump in at the front, and people coming from the left immediately lined up behind him, giving the "jump-queue" some form of legitimacy. By the time I took the photograph a minute or two later, it was impossible to work out which was the original queue. Predictably, there were arguments at the head of the queue as people tried to explain that they were the ones next in line: as a result, it has slowed things down for everyone!

Incidentally, there were about three staff in the ticket office: they could have solved the problem by opening a second counter. But they didn't.

At TST, Harbour City McDonalds. She was prancing around in front of me in the queue, oblivious, and this was me taking a couple of shots of her before she looked back and stared right at me, right into the camera, for a split second (Doe).
