29th March 2006
Ivory Tower

Aberdeen

The Ivory Tower in all its ivoryness,
I've been doing this job for ten years on April 1st.
And that will also be my last day.
Like this old fashioned crystal ball,
I'll be replaced by a modern computerised grommet.

Nikon D50
1/1250s f/5.6 at 55.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Beautiful shot, though I did stand on my head to really appreciate it. Goodbye Ivory Tower.

And I wish you well in what ever you're up to after April 1. I shall miss all your references to the Ivory Tower.

Is this the crystal ball that steered the Ryanair flight into Ballykelly instead of Derry?

Great shot, wish they'd replace the red x machine with a grommet.
