it is my smalltime and modest belief i am very clever. i was walking home from drinking in a pub and saw these teddy crisps in the street and i said to my friend david "quickly! give me your camera, i need these teddies for citynoise" and lo, he gave me his camera, i took the photos, i downloaded them from his 'new device' onto my evidently klunky pc which took four hours to digest his camera (that is exaggeration btw) and now he has gone home and here, i have uploaded them as well. i should get a gold star. p.s....

Peterborough and the Smells of Pollution, Etc...

author: Colin James Watling : Peterborough, UK

I used to be a trainspotter, hanging out on the platforms of Peterborough station, looking at the Inter City 125s, DMUs and the Fletton fly ash freight trains go by, then whipping off down to March Motive Power depot to have a look at the Class 20s and 30s taking shortcuts across the track to get there, then off down to Cambridge to have a look at the DMU sheds, etc. I remember one thing about it though that sticks in my memory: the smells.

Proper Snow

author: Jamie : Horncastle, UK

I took photos out my window after the first snowfall of winter 2005/2006, but in the days following christmas it snowed properly. There's nothing nicer than nice thick cotton wool snow, and however old you get. However grown-up you unwittingly become.
