Drive-by
Completely failed to capture the real meat of what was going on here, which was a couple of officers out of the car, questioning the driver they'd pulled out of the car they'd pulled over. They looked a bit jumpy though, so I didn't feel like pushing my luck. Still, nice colours.

Quo vadis?
… asked the two officers of this gentleman. Among a variety of other questions, no doubt.

Follow that taxi!
I always wanted to shout that out. "STICK THE SIRENS ON! Take him alive." Go! Go! Hang on - what? He's parked up? Oh.

Stepping lightly
Sauntered up Midland road to the station to purchase me a post-prandial perambulatory caffeine slurp. Saw these chaps sauntering up ahead of me; sauntered up behind them, nonchalantly raised my lens and snapped 'em up; sauntered off again.

Contretemps
This lady was cross. I think she was cross with the police guys in the car, who seemed quite happy to let the community types brush her off. I mean, why bother getting out of the car if they're already communing with the community, right?

Is this Gregor Samsa?

Is this Gregor Samsa?
Or just a top-hatted dude with a stripey shirt, lying on his back pretending to be a dog having his tummy tickled? Or just apparently collapsed while doing a drunken zombie/ghoul/sneaky-monster walk? Not that either of those wouldn't be quite good in its own right, but I don't know, maybe I read too much into these things. Maybe I just try to connect things up too much. Anyway, nice picture. So it goes.

Starbucks duties
Something of a regular lunchtime haunt for crew patrolling St. Pancras International. I guess they just can't keep away from that frothy cream. Me, I prefer Patisserie Paul, just round the corner, but different strokes for different folks, right?

Bat-bike & car
I think what happens is that the bonnet of the car opens up and the bike comes zooming out of the front, allowing the chap doing the driving to carry on high-speed pursuit. Yep, that's it.
