My Plug In Baby – 43/365, originally uploaded by Simon Wicks.

Big plug socket just off Carnaby Street.
I’ve heard about this, but never managed to find it before. So i Google mapped it earlier, found it on Street View and marked it on a map to go and find this evening.
There’s a bit lamppost in front of it which is a shame, so i had to try and get it from some other angles. I’ve got a couple more shots which i’ll put up of it some other time as well.
The sky was really nice this evening, quite a dark blue, with lots of clouds,shame you cant see more of it in this shot.

This is the first time i’ve taken a picture into Photoshop to get rid of some things as well. Aperture is really slow at cloning things out I’m finding, Photoshop did it in no time at all. There were some buildings on the left hand side, now there isn’t :)

Really need to see this one a big bigger as well, it’s a bit dark at this medium size.

Grrrr, Aperture’s done something funny with the photo’s I’ve uploaded tonight it seems. It’s not uploaded the full sized one. And i can’t be bothered to go back and re-upload them and add them all to the groups again. So i’m not. *humph*

Description: This sculpture has been a highlight of Soho for the past few years. The form of a giant electrical plug and socket on the Ganton Street facade of the electricity sub-station at second floor level lights up at night and can change colours.
