29 / 30 Sep - Crane 4

OK last one - I'm milking it now . . . lol

Hmm - camera problems - I have had a problems with the batteries but now another clasp seems to have broken which means I have to push down / up to ensure that they make contact otherwise I have no power - problem is I have to apply so much pressure that it shakes and can quite easily cause a blur . . . hmm - will need to take it in so they can tell me whether it can be fixed or what the prognosis is . . .

Two statues look down upon an entrance to a building - one male - one female - he has something slung over his shoulder (a chord runs across his body attached to this device?? . . . almost as if he is listening to something. . ? note the object at his left foot? a beehive?) - she seems to be carrying a bouquet . . I wonder what they have seen over the years . . ????

I have taken a series of photo's and will continue exploring this over the next few days . . .weeks . . as long as holds my interest . . . - this photo speaks of grandeur from days gone past . . . this is next Central Station and is attached to the hotel at the station . . . strange it's almost like a door up there???
