Vis a vis

That's how we live in Canary Wharf. This is the view from my balcony. It's like a little stack of improvised tv shows. See the old man reading on the left, and a guy stretching upper right. People come and go, walking on and off the set.
For some reason I rather like it. Even though they can see me too - mostly playing guitar or watching Battlestar Gallactica.
The old man is unusual. Firstly he's not plugged into an electrical device and secondly he's old. You rarely see anyone over 55 here and never without phone/blackberry/laptop/iPod etcetc.
