Wide Angle Wednesday: Looking Down
 
This is a shot of the early arrivals for General Election Hustings being held at Clarke Willmott’s office in Georges Square Bristol this evening, taken from one of the glass sided lifts.  Great fun, as long as you don't suffer from vertigo.  It won't have escaped your notice (if you are from the UK at least) that there is an election under way.
 
 Which reminds me: 


"Politician's fighting hard to win,
Getting a good position
So he won't have to lose again.
The battle's always on,
Working against disgrace,
He has to win you over.
Well it's always the case,
Ends up saving face.
 
Delegations, flying in,
Happiest relations,
Smiling faces, shaking hands.
The battle's always on,
Working against displacement.
They have to win them over,
If it's only a case
Of saving space.
 
No don't bother telling me,
I can see it for myself.
I was born with a mind of my own,
And I intend to keep it free.
 
Still the seasons come and go,
Bad influences pile up,
Like the dirty driven snow.
Turn off the news,
I really don't want to know.
If there was anywhere left to go,
Well I think I'd want to go,
'Cause I really don't like the show."
 
   
The Strawbs – A mind of my own

Once again, a big thank you to Hobbs for hosting Wide Angle Wednesday and for coming up with another great challenge.  This is far from the first attempt I had at today's challenge....
