It doesn’t count as it was taken in May 2013, but this is mine in a scenery storage shed on the ring road at Television Centre.
TVC had closed a few months earlier, but as the nerve centre for much of the broadcast chain a lot of equipment remained in service until the end of November together with a few engineers to operate it. And one to maintain it.
In fact, once the equipment was decommissioned they couldn’t find a room elsewhere for the maintenance engineer, so they all left and I remained in the virtually deserted building until September 2014. I loved it.
After that it was demolished and redeveloped as hotel, office and retail space and hundreds of overpriced apartments, just 3 studios remain. :'(





next challenge.......YOUR FAZER AT YOUR PLACE OF WORK.....

That looks a Retro / Timeless photo, with the faired Fazer on the left and quite retro building to the right.
Plus looking quite deserted, no-one else around. Convert photo to Black & White, with a little Sepia, in Photoshop, plus erase out the Vauxhall !  8) :lol ...

Sepia I can do... replacing the car with the canteen entrance it has obscured is more of a challenge.  :lol

OMFG!  :eek You da photoshop King !!! :lol That works.

It looks a little like the weird sky/outlook we had the other day, with the Red sun. Fantastic job on the edits.
Based on this effort put in (plus still a workplace photo), you should get the nod (mission fulfilled), and get to choose the next challenge!  :thumbup

Work on a "secure" site - No photography aloud. Counts me out...

@Val - Is Flickr still working well for you?
I've been trying to link to my Photos from there, but the BBCode options have completely disappeared.  :(
Only seeing Share via email etc, which doesn't give you the .jpg link, just a link to your Photostream.
I've tried browsing the site using "Desktop", plus also couple of different browsers, doesn't help.

That is weird, I see BBCode fine with the latest Mozzila, here is one from today:



Next challenge your bike at your place at work

What do you do

I'm a Licenced Aircraft Engineer - specifically light aircraft up to 5700kgs.
This is one of the facilities which I cover and certify work at.
Took me 4 days to put all the ducks in a row to get the picture - but its not the first time I've had a bike in this particular hangar!  :thumbup

Poppy appeal launches are no more, everything here started in October already.

The best I can find is giant poppy after the appeal launch:



Is that fine with you guys?

A reiteration of the rules.

1. All challenges must be of YOUR bike and a landmark, or something obscure or creative, something most people can ride to in their area.



It doesn't specify that it has to be a Fazer.

It will do for me - a picture of an actual appeal launch is tricky.
