Va va voom! - a photo on Flickriver

Va va voom!

            Fun on the escalators at Library of Birmingham.  I took about a gazillion of these but this one stood out due to the punchy surroundings that give it a retro feel.  

Shift Return ... and now I am on a new paragraph.  One of the many quirks of the new Flickr *ahem* experience.  I was rather surprised by all the black Flickr pages on the 8th.  A few simple changes could have made the new interface so much more user friendly whilst maintaining that much needed update.   Part of me wonders why I am even writing such a lengthy description given you are going to have to choose to read it.  

Thank you all for your kind messages etc.  My son has made a speedy recovery and now has no cast on his arm and I have a new car - insurance company rather surprisingly gave me more than expected so have actually done okay out of it all.  Anyway, I expect to be back on Flickr properly in the New Year.  Whilst I have not had time to comment I have very much enjoyed looking at all your work.

Have a great rest of week! :-)
