WATCH

I had to get up early to give Mrs G a lift to the train station today. She's off to listen to the Church of England's debate about why you need a penis to be a Bishop in London. Just to clarify - the debate is being held in London: a penis is currently required to be a Bishop anywhere in England. It seems to me that there are a few too many Bishops that could do with a right good bashing.

As I was up early I thought I may as well bimble about Cambridge for a bit. So I did.

I sat and had a Chai Tea Latte while smoking a mini cigar and had a good view of people setting up their market stalls.
My telephoto lens came in very handy for taking photos unobtrusively.

I took a few shots of some of Cambridge's wonderful buildings but nothing that particularly inspired me. I spent most of my time observing people and got a decent shot of a chap wearing a fedora having a good go at clearing his nose with a tissue. Other than that my favourite shot was of a cleaning cart in a shopping mall.
Many an object is not seen, though it falls within the range of our visual ray, because it does not come within the range of our intellectual ray, i.e. we are not looking for it. So, in the largest sense, we find only the world we look for. ~ Henry Thoreau
