Travels with Alfie

By DavidCullen

Hasn't got the sense he was born with

OK so I was walking from the office to the hotel, thinking that it was going to be a blip-less day, when I happened on a marginally interesting scene. So I snapped it with the iPhone. So I decided to get a bit closer, better to capture the foreground interest. So I sank up to my knees in the mud - in my suit. Not just any mud; the filthiest, foulest-smelling mud. I slunk off trying not to catch the eye of onlookers, pretending that it was nothing really unusual for a man in a business suit and carrying laptop and luggage to wade out knee-deep in mud to take a picture of a rusty bike. I spent as little time as possible at reception checking in at the hotel because I HONKED!

I wouldn't mind but the close-up was pretty poor. I don't think my mind was on the shot - just trying to retain some kind of dignity was more of a priority.

Not home until Wednesday night so the next couple of days at work will be pinstripe on the top half and 501's on the lower half.
