yesterday in pictures & video

all in all it was a 35 mile cycling day, i think my route looks a little like a strange fruit, or possibly a strange face... no pictures from the morning cycle as i was in a hurry, the pictures start once i'd gone past to the south western tip of my journey, once i'd left felinity in clapham and i was chilling out in battersea park:

at first i thought these were wierd modern sculptures but after a while i realised they were sculptures that had been wrapped up for some reason...

i sat down by the water and let the various different waterfowl come and say hello and then ignore me:



this one was preparation for the second of the slowing bicycle wheel videos, which ended up at 13 and a half minutes, not so successful as the first which was cut short sadly because my camera was full, here it is in all it's 6 or so minutes (there's an angry swan chasing geese):



yes the videos are probably way too long, i have a fondness for what others often think boring... partly though, watching these today, which was such a foul, cold, rainy day it's just lovely seeing the way the sunlight plays on the water...

outside the stage door waiting for my G i was listening to my shuffle and taking pictures...

and finally to describe a little more precisely what it was like hearing these herbie hancock tunes last night as i waited for my food @ crystal...
i'd completely forgotten that i'd put them on there, all day i'd been randomly listening to tracks as i cycled by the canal or the river thames, not one herbie tune all day... i mistook them for miles davis tracks... from the era when herbie used to play for him, as did tony williams, the drummer... i hadn't put any miles davis on there at all... it was great hearing miles... (so i thought)... but i had absolutely no notion how it had got onto my ipod shuffle... (i'd had a long day - i was pretty stupid by this time, and romantic in that full moon hanging over the millenium eye kind of way)...

i started half believing that the universe had put them there for me... here you go longcat, miles davis...
