Busker - Forster Square

I didn't know whether to post this picture or not, it has every technical fault going, camera shake, subject movement, burnt out highlights, picture noise, there wasn't really enough light to take a picture in the first place, so why did I take it? Simply because the musician (and he was a musician, quite a good one) asked me to. I'm always willing to send someone a picture if they want one. I did point out that there wasn't really enough light and the resulting pictures would be poor. Sure enough, the pictures were poor, soft, grainy, not worth bothering with, and I came away promising to have another go if our paths crossed again in the future. Looking at the pictures again though, a few days later, and I'm not sure if the technical quality really matters, maybe I should have just sent them on in the first place.

Underneath The Arches

Depending on your views regarding Victorian industrial architecture these arches near Forster Square Station could be a work of art, or a pile of old stones. I quite like old buildings myself, they seem to fit into the landscape or cityscape better than modern buildings. I think it's because they are usually constructed from local materials and have been designed and built by people who knew what they were doing, people who built things to last. These arches look like they were built to last, they probably will last, for another hundred years or more, not bad for a pile of old stones.
