Happy Birthday ESB! I sent some snaps I’d taken of the ESB to the BBC and lo! they appeared on the BBC website (you’ll have to flip through to the last two…).

Take a look in my NYC gallery for some more shots from the island of Manhattan. The black and white shot was another success for the Ricoh GR1 and ISO800 film…the lights of the “sports club” gym in the foreground made me smile at the time and thereafter as a few days before I’d pounded my way around all 5 Boroughs in the NYC marathon and then promptly gone on a 7 day burger-binge after the 26-mile exercise binge - hey, I earned it!

Being a well-photographed landmark there’s plenty of coffee-table books about its construction…makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I look at the pics of construction workers balancing on girders hundreds of feet up.

I’m left wondering about saying it’s an inanimate objects’s birthday…how did that get through the birth canal?
