Waiting for the Fireworks

I've posted this loads of times over the years so you have all seen it before.  I did think it had to be some kind of set up although I couldn't spot any observers of public reaction.  I'd just come off the Eurostar and I had to get out of the exit throng and unpack the camera from its bag.

How predictable!

It's a funny thing, zx9 , but for all the times I used Baker Street station, my memories of it are dark, miserable waits for the train home to Hatch End. The long, cold, miserable waits. I wish I could say I remember those wonderful windows, but I simply don't.
Gosh! I see the Bakerloo line no longer serves Hatch End, and Hatch End is now on the Watford to Euston overground. Changed days.

The light wells on the Circle / Hammersmith and City cut and cover platforms are a bit overdone these days.

We had the East London Line which ran from New Cross / New Cross Gate to Shoreditch which was not well used. This became part of the Overground and later linking with the Elizabeth Line at Whitechapel it is now very busy, one of Transport for London's real improvements.

Saw this guy this morning. Shame he'd just stopped smoking when I thought about a photo for today's theme.

Waiting to ripen.  I don't think I have ever seen such an abundance of green pine cones.
