Cockle-shell hero - # 119/2011
British lads of a certain age will recognise the title - a film about the British wartime submariners who as "frogmen" piloted midget submarines and tiny kayaks on dangerous missions to mine enemy battle ships.
This boat is traditional sail driven cockle dredger operating from Southend on the Thames Estuary. "Endeavour" was built in 1926. She sailed to Dunkirk in 1940 as one of the "little ships" which rescued more than 300,000 men of the British Army from the beaches of Dunkirk. She is still going strong and carries her Hero badge with pride. History of Endeavour

All change at New Change 112/2011
I'm experimenting trying to "see" things differently. Here is my vision of the magnificent glass and steel creation on the No. 1 New Change site that opened this year, opposite St.Paul's.
Below is what it looks like to the "unimaginative" eye. I really like the light, ethereal, ultra-smooth, smokey-glass structure. Packed inside is an Aladin's Cave of shopping and commercial delights. The previous post showed how it offered a new and enjoyable view of its neighbour, St. Paul's Cathedral.
