Selfie at the famous spot at Television Centre in West London; this was after meeting for lunch with friends who are still working round there. Note the absence of East Tower. Weird to walk in straight off the street, no ID pass check or turnstile - the Commissionaires had long gone by the time I achieved a BBC staff pass.
The "Goons" patrolling wear different colours now that TVC is no longer owned by the BBC and no longer the hub of British television.The BBC sold the site but television is still made there; however only three studios have been refitted as well as some office space; most of the rest of the building is now residential, ie flats/apartments.
Far more of the site is now open to the public in a way it never was under the BBC; although  it is subject to the same rules for photographers as a shopping centre, so just a snatched selfie this time.

That’s now several terabytes; each terabyte is 1000 gigabytes. The AA size battery is an indication of scale, not needed for the system.

This photo started as test setup for the GPN portraits pair challenge on a wet Saturday afternoon and has ended up as an infographic.

• Six-pack abs

Worth doing the all those crunchies in the gym! Six-pack abs at play in the Hohe Wand, in the Wiener Wald, the Vienna Forest.

That time when giving control of the camera to another photographer produces a result that pleases both the subject and the photographer: thanks to Wolf for the photo.
