old things
we don't have old things in new zealand. at least not things which people have made.
don't foul your dog
or anyone else's
good word combinations
everything used to sound like 'a good name for a band'. as i've got older i've noticed that less. my focus is elsewhere. that's a shame.
cash for gold
a friend asked me who sells gold at these kind of places. i answered 'rappers'.
HERE
small words in the corner of a small sign. if you've got so close you can read the word 'here' you probably already know that.
tex only ferst
i'm not sure who will ensure good english (double underlined)
escalator delivery instructions
don't stand on the snake
auckland skyline
auckland looking its lovely self
gloucester square
no reason
no parking over there
nice use of a nice arrow
untuned window
the window on the right had been bricked up and peddle dashed. but it looked to me rather like an untuned analogue television. something for older readers to ponder.
enjoying a flat rat
spotted by esther. she's leaning over and pointing at it for you. she wanted to lie in the road and pretend to be dead next to it. but it was quite a busy road. and at some point she might have stopped pretending!
they do
they look both good and bad. i've seen them
please do not sit on the pavements
'the' pavements.
clip art signage
it's 2012.
please do not standon the top step in the morning
come midday we all climbed up there
rascle's everybody
you may remember rascle from the days when comments used to be turned on?
we had the fantastic privilege of catching up with him again on our recent trip to london and he kindly agreed to let me record one of his party pieces!
a nice sit down
guarded by both bin and bollard
chronic toxic
not good
auckland
it's good to be home!
leaving the britain
i left the britain last saturday, but you'll be getting lots of british photos over the next few weeks as the weather is pretty dull in new zealand at the moment, i'm back to work tomorrow, and i took 2,000 photos so i want to do something with them
here's some photos from my last day in the britain in case you are interested.
i had hot water in a proper ceramic mug. noice.
this was a lie. the whole journey talk about 30 hours door to door, but i took this photo with just 2 hours to go until we landed at the half way point
look at me writing lots of words. i'll shut up again soon. sorry
monumental ascent
i went up monument in london last thursday. after a speedy three hour walk and a big lunch. it was windy, stairy, high. but very good.
i took the stairs a rather little too fast
i don't know what that red bit at the bottom was
during all holiday season
bit late posting this, but it's a good 'un
odd shapes
doesn't look much better the other way
glove
one of the great things about being in london in the winter is the amount of gloves i've seen about
goodbye UK ...
after just over 3 weeks in the UK it's time to head back home to NZ. i've had a great time, but haven't managed to catch up with everyone, so sorry if i missed you.
i took 10s of hundreds of photos, so london will live on for a few months on the blog at least!
angel
saw this at the excellent Rascle's house. i thought i'd grab a shot as she'll soon be back in her box for the next 11 months.
pool rules
pool
dead celebrity
miss marple apparently
only in cambridge
a charity / op shop in cambridge advertising classical vinyl. just how posh is that?
st pancreas
This photo looks like one of those artists impressions type things. but it's all real, i can assure you
ladie's handkies
unfortunate spelling in this shop which sells a lot of school uniforms
teeny baby
people with sticks, babies and artificial arms can sit here.
aeronautical bollards
my daughter took this shot without me even knowing. what a treat
