The bus station

This is the second photograph of Gloucester bus station that I've posted. The first was taken from inside on a bright day and featured the silhouettes of people. I took today's photograph as I wandered about inside and out looking for shots rather than sitting and waiting for our bus. For this photograph I hung about until the people in the glazed waiting areas on the right had filled the buses, leaving a view to the far end of the interesting building.

Up and down the City Road

In recent years I've been "up and down the City Road" many times. However, it wasn't until recently that I discovered it is the very same City Road that features in the children's nursery rhyme, "Pop Goes The Weasel". The Eagle pub is round the corner that is below the two new towers on the left of the photograph, on a bit and on the right near the top of the street named Shepherdess Walk. The character in the nursery rhyme wouldn't recognise City Road today, nor would he encounter many shepherdesses. On our recent visit I quickly snapped this shot because it seemed to represent everything that is London in the evening rush hour.
