A new piece of street art was commissioned to stand outside the university building. During the month of November 2011 I have taken pictures and video every time I walked past it, to show the progress of its construction.

Yesterday’s vlomo was similar to one from last year, and strangely, so is today’s. I was leafing through my captured videos wondering what to do for vlomo when my daughter told me that it had suddenly got foggy outside. The result was a chance to compare today with with the footage from last year.

Sometimes the water in Ipswich marina is so calm that it acts like a great big mirror.

The music in this video is “Army of Dreamers” by William Elmore from the aptly named “Reflection Songs” album. The whole album is available from Jamendo under a Creative Commons by-nc-sa llicence.

A short walk from my current workplace is “Caffe Basso”, a lovely little coffee shop. Well worth a visit for great coffee and pizza.

One of the many lights around Ipswich docks is a several-metre high three-legged, colour-changing beacon. I know very little about it except that the glowing plate at the bottom says “Alpha Omega”.

Update. It appears that it is actually a piece of street art named “Crows Nest”
