Long trek

Long trek
This chap had ever so slight an air of world-weariness in his gait. Or maybe it was in my eyes. Dunno.

Damn

There were three of these guys all in a line watching the trains - they come, they go - but as you can see, in my haste I blurred 'em and got my hand in the way. Curses.

Lone guard
This stretch of pavement, though usually inhabited by a variety of police vehicles, on this occasion played host to a single, unoccupied, unmarked car, accompanied by a similarly solo officer, marked out in contrast for all to see.

Alfie

Alfie
Apparently Alfie's a bomb dog. According to the little card the police officer gave me when I expressed an interest in Alfie, this means that he's highly trained in sniffing out explosives, rather than that they regularly feed him nitro-glycerine or Semtex. Which is something of a relief. Anyway, he wasn't getting any of my biscuit, cute or not.

Buying all the pastries
Snapped this chap calling out to his pastry accomplice, waiting for the last of the batch to be brought to the till for purchase and eventual consumption.
