Nice trellis work...

... something you rarely get to say! Here's a lovely example in Clapham Junction just waiting to be overgrown with climbing flowers.

Not train-spotting in Brighton

When I used to live in Brighton I used to get the train a lot from the main station. I travelled back to the seaside a couple of weeks ago and, standing in the main train terminal, was surprised that I hadn't taken a photo of the architecture before. An intricate yet sturdy looking web of steel and curved glass, it gives the platforms the certain grandeur that has awarded this building that of a listed one.

Starspotting in Dublin

Rory Gallagher, one of my favourite musicians, has this small part of Dublin's Temple Bar dedicated to him. I love the addition of the guitar below the street name. Strangely I walked past this sign about three or four times before I noticed it. I'm glad I did.

The Tate's plea for an artists release

Animal Silhouettes

 In the 'Strudel Bar' under Hansel und Gretel's in Bath is a stunning array of German paraphernalia. Tiny liederhosen, wooden cuckoo clocks and fairylights adorn the walls creating a perfect Christmassy wonderland. Slightly incongruous this time of year but lovely nonetheless. Up on the ceiling were these beautiful lampshades. Such a simple idea but very sweet indeed, much like the strudel itself...
