Pictures from Woking

I live in Woking, Surrey, UK which is not the most photogenic spot in the world although there are worse. One day a good photo will happen here. Meanwhile, this is the most exciting I can manage.

The towpath, with an office building to the left. It must be a pleasant place to work, since nobody has bothered to rent it.

The view down from the other side of the bridge, onto some ancient piece of canal related machinery. The Woking Borough Council tourist department obviously think this is "a feature".

Horsell Common played host to HG Wells' Martians in the last years of the 19th Century. More on the Martians in Woking later.
