Field End Road, Eastcote (or Ruislip, depending what way you want to look at it), HA4
Only me at the bus stop... after all – who else decides to go shopping at this hour?
Gotta love how shiftwork wrecks one's body clock. If only I was in a grade that allowed me to do permanent nights... I'd be sorted.

As a shiftworking Policeman for many years at Takapuna I used sunsets and sunrises here to level and chill out.
Johanna Hoffman, founder and designer at Shiftworks, has created Waterspots -- decentralized, public water catchment hubs that harvest fog, rain & dew. Layers of fog catching mesh span a frame of steel pipes. Acting much like the needles of redwood trees, the mesh captures passing fog and transfers it to storage & treatment containers below. Support pipes, which are hollow, catch & store rainwater. They are also cooled with solar power, enabling them to serve as dew catchers during nighttime & dawn hours. Once treated, water is pumped to waist-height water spouts, where users can source fresh water onsite. Waterspots also serve as community gathering spaces. Seating allows people to linger and learn about the Waterspot system and water resilience in general, to chat and enjoy a respite from the day. Working with a team of dedicated designers and fabricators, as well as researchers from UC Santa Cruz and Cal State Monterey, Shiftworks is developing Waterspots to bring water catchment and treatment to the public realm, creating accessible spaces to celebrate the value of water.
