McDonald’s, I’m good ‘n cold and I have two egg McMuffins!

McDonalds, I'm cool and I have two egg McMuffins! by Gary Allman

I love egg McMuffins. Sorry but it is true. They are the highlight of any early morning excursion in the car. Today I was traveling back from an overnight stop in St Louis and breakfast called. Even better there was an offer of two egg McMuffins for the price of one.

This picture also appears in my 365 Days of 2011 blog.

This is an unusual post-processing technique for me. Though I like the original picture, it felt a bit sterile. I prefer this take on it.

Processing this picture I discovered an old fashioned British telephone booth in the street. I have no idea how it got here or why it is here.

Canal Walk, Portsmouth UK

Canal Walk, Portsmouth UK by Gary Allman

Originally part of the route of the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, the railway was built in the canal bed.

For me this picture has a forties / fifties feel – ignoring the modern lamp posts, road markings and skyline that is. Most likely this is down to the very slight red tint/yellow tint I gave the picture during processing.

St Judes, Southsea

St Judes Southsea by Gary Allman

I find this modern sculpture rather menacing. There are two of them, one at either end of the shopping precinct. 

The sculpture is meant to represent the breaking sea – and not a claw which is more how it appears to me.

University of Southampton – Building 29

University of Southampton – Building 29 by Gary Allman

Saw this while stretching my legs this afternoon, the sun was just going down, tracking up the side of the building.

I’m trying to get back into the habit of climbing the stairs of this building twice a day. It’ll do wonders for my legs but nothing for my waistline.
