A walk avec my camera  
Well it was a nice day, so I felt like going for a bit of a walk and thought I might take my camera along to do some random snapping. I finally paid my dues to flickr so my pro account has been reborn, and if anyone cares to look at my decidedly non-pro results you can see them here: clicky.


Random Pics that made me smile

This is my front door. I don't know who put the tape there with that message on; it's a shared house and it was like that when I moved in. I'm not sure it does a whole lot of good since we still get takeaway leaflets and other junk every day!

Photobucket

Lol-some graffiti at the local skate & BMX park. There were lots of young kids about doing cute "tricks" on scooters. Hopefully the fact that I'm a 23 year old girl went some way to the parents not reporting me to the police as a paedophile because I was there with a camera but no child of my own in tow...

I have a coaster of this at work and it always gives me an ever-so-slight smug glow. Negated by semi-regular drives down to Devon, but hey the commuting by bike still must give me one or two eco points!

Photobucket

This terrified me. Bins should not have faces! We chuck rubbish in them; if you personlise them you're half way towards having to give them rights or they'll rise up against us all.

Photobucket

Colourful community mural that was done in 2002 but surprisingly has not yet completely been defaced by gangs of teenagers with stolen spray paint.

Photobucket

Very random pub name: "The Hop Pole". Is it to do with pole vaulting? Or that crazy jumping-over-ditches thing they do in Norfolk? Who knows.

Photobucket

I always feel sorry for the remains of dead bikes, but also worry that they might one day come back to life as zombie bikes and begin feasting on the whole and undamaged ones. My mind sometimes disturbs even myself...

Photobucket

This shop sells everything from potatoes to charcoal, mops and brooms, garden equipment, paint and floor coverings. Plus "fancy goods". Who needs Tesco anyway?

Photobucket

Mmm, colourful Piemaster pies available at the Fire Engine pub!

Photobucket

If they see you with a bag of stale breadcrusts you might well be shot on sight. That Birdwoman from Mary Poppins should be strung up in public as a warning to us all.

The birdwoman is SCARY.

There's a bin near here with that face on too. *shudders*

And surely if you're a bus driver you have been driving so the thank you for not driving sign doesn't apply? It doesn't specify that they're just thanking the passengers.

Tuppence a bag! Tuppence a bag!

I'm not sure whether that sticker is just directed at those using the forms of transport, or if it includes those who assist people to use the forms of transport eg. bus drivers, bike mechanics, people who repair shoes...
