i had a really good chat with the chap who drives this and learnt all about the machine.  what a nice fellow

these were company names on car park spaces, but it got me thinking it would be great to make a public car park with action words on each space that would offer you a challenge and shape your day.

come on car park companies of the world.  inspire us to triumph!

it's the end of summer so the crickets are out in force.  they sound like they are blowing little whistles.  it's like living next door to an illegal rave.

a great statement open to a range of interpretations


120310_s95_img_9653.jpg

but this is even better.  next to the heavy rock advert on the butchers window is an advert for a missing cat.

120310_s95_img_9654.jpg

a dark thought crossed my mind ...

i went for a walk this evening round my local cemetery before sunset (old goth habits die hard)

120308_s95_img_9562.jpg

a great place for a healthy walk.  and all the glow in the dark grave decorations means it never gets too dark!

120308_s95_img_9556.jpg

120307_s95_img_9544.jpg

looks like a magpie moth (on the outside of my 8th floor office window)

i'm sure i've taken pictures of this sign before

120225_450d_img_3921.jpg
