Regent's Canal -Ron's Eel and Shellfish

Went for a lunchtime run today. I was going to blip one of the locks, but that'll be for another day, as I preferred this shot.

Apparently, an artist was commissioned to paint large artworks on brick walls as part of the Shoreditch Festival. The artworks related to local shops or stalls on Hoxton Street. The painting is about 30 feet directly above the waters of the canal ( the towpath only goes along one side). The artist must have had to be suspended from the building. The broken windows above are very much part of the current scene, so I didn't crop them.
