A sudden burst of sunshine and you take a photo, wherever you are. I'm waiting for a D8 bus beside some very unprepossessing roadworks barriers at Stratford Broadway. Left of centre is the Gurney Memorial obelisk (1861 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-204924-gurney-memorial-drinking-fountain-stratf ). Rising above the trees in the middle of the Broadway is the spire of John's Church. Note the enigmatic red notice in the central foreground, reminiscent of Magritte: "This is not a pedestrian crossing". Well, I'm short-sighted but I'd spotted that. Is that my bus? No, it's a 257.
