Good shot and I suspect a familiar story for many of us, getting old is b*****ks.

Nicely done!
I suspect that's a ritual for a few of us. I like the shock of pink against the soft tones.
 
Morning ritual
Nicely done.
Taking pills daily is a bit of a bind.

Snappers choice
That's quite striking.
 
Nice shot, great focus on the eyes. Bet the 1,4 was handy in the tunnels - they look interesting,
 
I love the eye-contact in snappers choice - they feel like they are drilling into me!

Yes, it was handy having the 1.4 I had a small square LED to provide a bit of light as I've been there before (there isn't the room for any decent lighting)

Very nice, I like this angle too rather than the side-on one that I keep seeing, it feels like he's marching straight to (/over) you
 
Great timing to get down there and see it while it's still current. Half thought about a wander down myself next week before it's removed.

I do like the angle too. It really shows the intent of the statue and is far more impactful than the side-on versions I've seen.

I was just reading about that yesterday! Your chosen angle works really well.

Excellent image and a fortunate (or planned) bit of good timing.

A little of both. I heard about this Wednesday lunchtime. I needed to pop to Wex on Thursday, so I detoured on my way home to check it out.
I may have gone up to see it regardless of needing to pop to the East End. (It was claimed as a Banksy while I was in town).

I think it might be worth popping back a few times during the day to get different lighting on it.
 
Week 13 - Night Sky

I haven't been anywhere in the past month that could get me a decent starscape, and living next to Heathrow really does limit the darkness of the sky.
However, last night a SIA Cargo B747 departed Heathrow around 11pm. This really does show what the night sky tends to look like round this way.

I'd never seen this statue before today, I've now seen it twice, your photo and also on Facebook.
