Tis a week of boot. Singular. Upside down for max impact.

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.

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

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…

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.

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.
