Day 171: On top of the world (Primrose Hill at sunset)
"A mad, keen photographer needs to get out into the world and work and make mistakes."
Sam Abell
On Day 171 (June 19 2008), I sacrificed too much ISO for a decent hand-holding speed; really gutted about the grain in the picture.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primrose_Hill:
Primrose Hill is a hill of 256 feet (78 m) located on the north side of Regent’s Park in North London, England, and also the name for the surrounding district. The hill has a clear view of Central London to the south-east, as well as Belsize Park and Hampstead to the north.

Day 333: Penny-farthing and the Urban Warfare
This cyclist on his Penny-farthing was seen in Central London on 28 November 2008.
I managed to fire off two not-too-focussed images and this was the sharpest one.
According to WikiPedia’s article on Penny-farthing:
Penny-farthing is a term used to describe a type of bicycle with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel that was popular after the velocipede, or boneshaker, until the development of the safety bicycle. They were the first machines to be called ‘bicycles’. The description ‘penny-farthing’ refers to British penny and farthing coins, one much larger than the other so that the side view resembles a penny leading a farthing, though this expression does not appear in print until 1927.
