Creekside Art

I swear this wasn’t here yesterday.

It is a tile stuck on the wall along Creekside and it isn’t that big.

I need to get a better picture. The Dog was on the lead trying to gobble discarded chicken, the pavement very narrow and Creekside busy enough to get run over by not paying attention. Not the most stable environment.

Love the picture on the tile.

The Boot Is Not On The Other Foot

Found boot

Then demolished by The Dog (@MyYourTheDog on Twitter, so follow him – On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog)

Bricked

Is this Duplo or some bastard no-brand spawn?

We had boxloads of this stuff when the children were smaller. They grew bigger and the bricks got smaller. Hello Lego.

Funny though, I’ve never seen one piece on its own…

Disappear

Sorting through the archives.

Brighton’s West Pier 1.75 years after the fire. Most of it has gone now.

I’d not had a DSLR very long in 2004.

Stretching the point a bit (but there is a lampost in the background

I didn’t realise quite how ‘clinical’ the Fujinon lens can be. I’ll have to think a bit more carefully about the exposure with FP4+. However, it makes an interesting juxtaposition with the previous post.

Narnia springs to mind but I loathe the allegorical, classist, sexist, quasi-religiosity so much I’ll have to wash my mouth out.

Sevendroog Castle. Trompe L’Oeil

20100306_gw690iii-jack-wood-001-1000

A friend recently discovered Sevendroog Castle when wandering round Jack Wood after a few spliffs. He couldn’t believe his eyes. It is such an extraordinary and unexpected folly because it is not really visible until you stumble upon it. At least not from the directions that we have approached it.

It is at the top of a scarp slope and surrounded by trees. This time of year is probably best because there are no leaves to obscure the view.

The branches frame the folly well.

I find its solitude the most troubling thing, it is so out of context. The second most puzzling thing is that from some angles it looks two dimensional. Almost ready to topple over.

I can understand my friend’s confusion. Especially with the dereliction, graffiti and 21C barricades on the windows and doors.

The Dog Gizmo thinks anybody with a hoodie is The Lobster. Despite the Mohican. Nanoseconds later he went racing up the steps to say hello.
