Banished some things whose time has come and gone, and added some new bits and bobs.

“Contrast”- @tubemapper.bsky.social’s third volume of #LondonUnderground photography - is now in my hands.
As expected, it’s absolutely brilliant. Luke has a wonderful eye for the beauty of the Tube. Page after page of wonderful compositions and stunning visuals.
Highly recommended.
