Shell Oil Statue
London, UK - Steelisreal - Wednesday, April 13th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
This statue is in the courtyard of shell oil, near waterloo station. Me and my friends think it looks like a backbone from some ancient creature.

It's actually a fountain, installed there in the mid-sixties. When they connected it up to the water supply the wind blew the water all over the place because of the vortex effect of the adjacent high Shell tower, so it's been switched off for forty years.
jamie: i bet it was cool when it was a fountain

Lachine City Hall
This is part of the photo walk I did on 18th Avenue. I know the correct phrase nowadays (since 2002) would be Lachine Borough Hall, but I still see Lachine as a different city with its own history going back...
