Somebody's Watching Me... by rich57

Somebody's Watching Me...

Had to go via town to get to work and faced with a twenty minute wait for the bus I decided to wander down to City Square where I chanced upon these two guys keeping an eye on the citizens of Leeds.

They are James Watt (left, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Watt) and John Harrison (right, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harrison). Coincidentally, I was on my way to record an audio guide to the Royal Observatory, which just happens to be mostly about John Harrison and his work on longitude. The strange thing is I never even knew that the statue was there even after 25 years living here! Good old 365!

Another lovely street scene. Love the telephone booth, bicycle and person wiht her pink suitcase...between the two statutes. So well composed!

The perspective's suing tricks here - that phone box looks tiny- then I realised that it's because the statues are quite a bit in front of the building. Alternatively I'm just gormless

It's even playing tricks - I'll be really glad to get off the iPhone (which writes it's own comments) and back on a computer!

I love the old Post Office as the background.

@mrgtrueman well spotted!

James Watt gets about, there's a statue in Brum too. This is fab. And I agree, that phone box looks dinky!

@blightygal Well I've got three options. 1. Stop altogether as I'm really busy with work for a while. 2. Carry on posting when i feel like it but not worry about every single day. 3. Do it all again religiously. I'm not sure yet but I think I'd find it hard to stop!

like this, especially the pick of pinkness.
It all works very well.

As always - brilliant!! Great shot! Nice splattering of pink & red colours.
