This is a small photo that fit on half of an old postcard. No message, alas. Can anyone make out the label on the bottle?
Workmen stand clear as diesel-hydraulic 218 427-3 sets off from Lübeck with a 'DB Regio' service bound for Hamburg Hbf on 10 May, 2001. Electrification of the line to Lübeck and through to Travemünde (on the coast) was on the cards at the time, but was deferred for financial reasons, not being completed until 2008. The crooked semaphore on the left might otherwise have been an early casualty of modernisation!
Sometimes when you press the shutter you know you have captured something special.
If I was asked to take a group of workmen and pose them casually eating their lunch it would never be a perfect as this, everyone and everything is in it's place and all are relaxed. I snapped this then asked if it was OK to take a few shots which of course they had no problem with, the next few exposures do not quite match up to this first decisive shot, notice also in the distance a suited guy on his mobile phone walking into shot.
Location is the steps by the fountain at Wilberforce House in Liverpool
A group of workmen clearing snow around Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center end up in trouble with their supervisor. No sympathy for the knock to the head.
Jumping across the city now to the Dockyard, which is where Tim and I both worked in the 1980s (although we didn't meet there!) This is part of the museum in No.7 Boathouse, which is where the restaurant is today (and our lot from work are going for their Christmas party! I've opted out this time, as the price is way higher than I can afford to pay!)
I called this photo 'dockies at work', as we always referred to people who worked in the dockyard as 'dockies'!!
More workmen outside the huge CrossRail development at Tottenham Court Road. In order to look right you have to wear orange hi-viz and a hard hat, clearly.
Workmen repairing the famous Ferry Building clock,
The original clock mechanism was refurbished in 2000 and is complete and intact, despite two previous modifications. Today the Ferry Building still boasts its original Special #4 clock made by the Boston clock maker E. Howard in 1898. It is the largest dialed, wind-up, mechanical clock in the world. The dials are twenty-two feet in diameter. >wiki
