Central Birkenhead and on a run down building - has been painted over and some none too subtle repair/strengthening work
The day after the Mount Kenya trip, I changed hotels to the Radisson Blu on Elgon Road in Nairobi where the safari I would be going on was to leave two days later.
So for that time period, I pretty much stayed within the hotel. I didn't see anything I could do, or wanted to, in the surrounding section of the Upper Hill neighborhood, and the security around the hotel was tighter than it had been in Gigiri, pretty much sending the message that you ought not to leave without a good reason.
Also, it was pretty blah outside weatherwise.
So when I took pictures, I looked for things in and around the hotel. It had a nice atrium, and I find that often-mocked feature of hotels and other commercial architecture to make a nice photograph.

normster: @reganref ha! I just looked up and then snapped it. I leave grid lines on so it's easier to get things straight and then i sorta see in a square when i'm shooting so i know how far/close to be. I hate having to crop out stuff. Many thanks for such a good compliment!

It wasn't even intentional that only the word 'football' is in this picture. Is this Summer thing almost over yet?

one of the great things about gafftape it that you can put it directly on a lamp, up to 1000 watts, apparently. this little guy is only 60 watts.
the thing is: the tape will stick, and be totally happy. but if you continually turn the lamp on and off daily over the course of... oh... say... three months, the adhesive will stay stuck to the lamp while the cloth crumbles and cracks away, becoming very much the brittleness and color of blue corn tortilla chips, at which point the whacking of the lighting fixture with anything so delicate as a twelve foot ladder will result in a little fake-blue-corn- fiestornado.
