Stealing other people's events

The last time I was in London, Great Britain had won a few gold medals at the Olympics, there was a destroyer parked up in the river Thames and some event was taking place at the Southbank. Southbank is one of the ever changing places in London, being a place for legal graffiti the walls are always developing with new art work going up and old work being amended. Every time I go there, there is always something new to see.

This time I stumbled upon an event that was talking place in the Southbank skate park. As this was during the time that I was struggling with my photography, I was nervous about taking photos, worried about standing out from the crowd. The skatepark was full of youngsters, BMX's and yellow cones. After some googling, I have discovered the event that I turned up at. It was the 'DUB BMX street series', so that would explain the professional photographers, lights and the stickers from sponsors being thrown into the crowd. Having had a look at the photographs that I found on goggle from where the 'professionals' had set up their gear, I am not sure what to think. http://issuu.com/richiemac/docs/dubbmx/20

Anyway, here are my photos from Southbank and Leeke road and one of someone else making use of the graffiti to strike a pose.

4 kayakers and a German

Sometimes you have to wonder if there is something wrong with kayakers. We go out paddling in all sorts of weather, don't mind our cars stinking of damp kit and always enjoy a beverage of some sort after a good day's worth of doing stuff. I am not sure why I thought that going for a wintery walk today would be anything less than that, but of course I forgot that I was going with Falcon paddlers, maybe the most untamed bunch in the Southern Hasler group. (The beverage photo will follow shortly, when I have copied it from my phone)

Hasler Finals

These photos are very late in being published online, sorry. I have been having some difficulties in publishing photos onto the Falcon website, so instead have decided to publish them here. These photos were taken by a club member.
