When I went to see the Salgado Genesis exhibition at the Natural History Museum a few months ago it occurred to me that I had not been there for many years.
I called in earlier in the week when I was supposed to be Christmas shopping.
I strolled along the elevated walkway in the Dinosaur display when there was a sudden noise from behind.
A school party had just arrived and some of the boys were heading straight to the big display, nothing was going to stop them.
They were polite enough, but Teachers - rather you than me .

Another Morris Minor, and although I don't think this one is abandoned it is more in the spirit of
the Martin Parr series of Abandoned Morris Minors photographs from the early 1980s.

Getting ready for winter.
However, some people have to do a lot more than stack a few logs. See this nice image of "Hectors peats".

Well, it cannot be too bad when you can walk onto a crowded undergound station platform and find yourself standing in front of a Tony Ray-Jones image.

Programme seller at the Natural History Museum, London.
He had kept the queue entertained with his strong Welsh accent as we waited for the doors to open. He was still working hard a couple of hours later when we left, but the voice was struggling a bit.
We had been to see the Salgado Genesis exhibition, which was splendid.
