Challenge 434: The weigh of the world
I spotted this elderly weighing machine in a forgotten corner of Camden Lock recently, and was intrigued to see these things still exist.

But what sort of person chooses to weigh themselves in public? And to what other purpose might it be put? The choice is yours.

High res is here.

As is my custom, I'm intending to turn my computer off on Christmas Eve (it's the only time it goes off all year) and not turn it back on again until 2013. So you've got two weeks in which to complete this Challenge.

I'd like to wish you all an exceptionally good Christmas and New Year. It's been a real pleasure.

See you all next year!

Steve
