Matt on the boat

Half filter, half not filter. From the boat.

The boat at Vicky Park

Olympic Parking

The boat is moored by the Olympic stadium - a policeman told us it was the most secure site in Europe. So yesterday I made my way to work over from HAckney Wick. Is so nice there.

Flats and boats

More river pics

For my boating-interested chums, here's some more pics of our walk to the river the other evening.

This is close to the Olympic site along the river. The red hoop bridge is a really striking bit of architecture. Has already begun to attract graffiti around the base.















And here's a shot of earlier in our canal walk, of a rather imposing boat moored closer to Victoria Park. What a prow! It's a good word as it sounds 'proud'.

A boating life for me

The engine's hum - moving the boat, taking some foties and doing some work for entering the Oxford House Open Exhibition. Both Matt and I are to enter - for an adventure! We met and walked down the canal the other day after my work was over, took some pictures. Now we need more! Here's one boat we passed, looks a bit dilapidated - you don't mind me saying that do you, person who owns it? But the willow gives it a lovely air of Gothic decay.

The Lock

Strange distorted picture of Matt operating the lock. You get some interesting photos when you're in a lock, the light is different, the angles are different.

This looks a little like some of those strange Walter Sickert paintings.
