Leo's Flickr Three photos so far:
One a clue to the CQt606£ puzzle which has been solved
One of the Eye which has some capitalized letters in the comments - did players post these?
One of a London train station - any ideas where?

When the image is inverted, Some of the lines are much thicker than others, Labfly and I are currently shredding bits of paper to find a hidden message like with the prove.html page but nothing yet.

The filename appears to be generated automatically by flickr, or Leo's fond of naming all the pictures in the same way (number_hex_letter.gif)... though the names do change depending on the size you view, thus I don't think we're going to get anything out of it that way.
Looking at the image itself, there are definite lines where you can tell two parts do not match (for example the diamond shape surrounded by white on the lower right quarter). I tried to find a few more, but there aren't that many other points. This wont be easy to put back together without some kind of tip though.

Another thing I noticed is that the up triangles repeat across the width of the picture. The row is formed by triangles pointing up, one of which forming the upper half of the diamond in the large white space. See how it repeats across the row? Also note how there appears to be the same thing going on in rows above and below it, but that its sometimes broken up. Anyway, I modified the original image with colored triangles. I made assumptions for some of the groupings, but its all logical.
Sorry for the jpg crapiness, but the gif version was all messed up for some reason.

If you look at the Flickr images. The "key" image has a folded subway map with three "X"s at Marble Arch Station, St. James Place, and Waterloo Station
The Marble Arch Station is right next to the Waterloo station that is pictured on the "countdown" page, so we might want to focus on that area. Hopefully, I'm not chasing after nothing...
`n00b here, so hopefully I got the search function right and can avoid a trout.

I'm kind of curious about the 'station' picture on Leo's flickr page. Did anyone ever figure out where this is? It looks more like a boat gangway to me than a train station. I've never been to London, but I was wondering if the photo of the Eye was any hint about the station. Looking in the vicinity on the maps and some google searching, I was wondering if any of you Londoners know if it might be any of the gangways in the Embankment area.. similar to the gangway show in this pic http://www.couchsurfing.com/image_gallery.html?id=146065&photo=17757&PHPSESSID=2f7a967be0520e09aca727ef613cdc2c just as an example. It looks like it has similar features... including the trees in the background. Any ideas?

I really wouldnt think so, the embankment area just isnt that leafy and none of the train stations around that area have that colour scheme as far as Im aware.

No it's definitely a train station - look at the platform number at the top of the picture (unless that has been Photoshopped).
Absolutely no idea which one it is though; it doesn't seem to be a major London station.

Is anyone located near Clapham Junction Station - If so you could always go and ask one of the trainspotters there if they know which station it is!
Cant beleive i just said that

Funny how clapham junction is the last place you actually SEE trainspotters, though it's the busiest station in London. :S
Retards.
