there's some great writing on this bollard

yves_IMAG0280.jpg

yves sent me this intriguing picture of two belgian bollards.  he writes "I spotted a contraption involving bollards and a hand-drying paper box, painted with a number."

very mysterious.  perhaps it's a bollard weighing station ?  or are they worshipping on a numerical altar ? 

thanks for your quandary yves !

i had meetings in london nearly every day last week, and walked a similar way each day, so i got to see some evolving mundaness - like this bollard wearing a jet pack

080313_850_img_7474.jpg

it all looked so good, but the next day i came by it had obviously all ended in disaster

this is like a giant needle and thread. sort of. if nothing else it give me a chance to use my favourite word: "bobbin"

070809_350d_img_1988.jpg

Anne from I like recommended i searched out this statue and it didn't disappoint:

"Probably the one thing right up your street in Glasgow is the equestrian statue outside GOMA which always has a police cone on its head. On a good day both horse and rider are sporting one. I keep meaning to write that up for Nothing To See Here!"

thanks anne !
