Another picture from the last few months. It's amazing what pictures are hidding on the computer. I can honestly say, "I don't remember taking this". However, I know it was taken at Colchester Zoo on the same day as the Lion picture. I think I must have had a good day, that day!!!!
Thankfully it appears that the roof is the only thing that has been totally destroyed.
Looking at the pictures, there's a lot of work to be done to clear the wreckage. It's such a shame as the two floors immediately below the roof have only cosmeic damage.
The fire investigation team are still working on theories, and it will be interesting to see their findings.
I think this is the best picture I have ever taken at Colchester Zoo. I have tried many times to get a good picture of this lion, and finally, it seems I've succeeded.
One of my new year's rsolutions is to take my camera out and about and shoot more. However, there are pictures on my computer that I have never looked at. The first images I came across were the cows from Denham.
The plan on the day these were taken was to walk Toby from Debden to Flatford Mill and back again. However, we never made it to Flatford, as while we were taking pictures of these cows,Toby found a cow-pat to roll in.
Thank goodness I uploaded my video to youtube. The fire investigation team were very pleased with what I had captured. A copy of the video is now with them, and until the investigation is over, I have removed it from youtube. I hope to reinstate the video when the investigation is over.
There I was sitting at my desk, eating my steak and cheese subway, when there was a faint BBQ smell. However, the smell got stronger, and then when I looked out the window, I saw this…..
At first, I didn’t realise how bad things were going to become, and also, I didn’t realise that we were just about to be involved in the top news story of the day. The evacuation was so calm, and in a way, you felt quite distant from what was going on, just metres from where we were walking.
It wasn’t until we were outside, and we could see reflections of the flames in the windows of buildings around the hospital. In the end it took over 100 fire-fighters to put out the blaze, and the building where the fire started is now without a roof. I just hope the damage is not as bad as it looks on the television. I am sure we will find out in the next couple of days.
