At least one day a week I walk past the House of Commons. Normally on the south-side of the Thames where I see all the tourist trying to capture a photograph of the clock tower. On this day I joined them, but massed the photo up a little bit.

Pubs come in a variety of states and sizes. In a working class community, which I was brought up in they became one of the focus points of the local neighbourhood. Less so now with the advent of cheap take away booze from supermarkets, which seems to have pushed people increasingly to drink vast amounts of alcohol in the home and in many cases alone.
Morning Glory – Salisbury
Leave a reply
I must admit I had a little giggle to myself when I wrote the title of this little blog and photo collage. Salisbury is such a conservative, but beautiful city. I do just like wandering around and taking random shots. I’m sure it has all the problems that blight most communities, excessive drink and drug use, employment, crime, etc. Salisbury just has a good way of hiding it.
Roseberry Topping – Teesside
My home town is Stockton on Tees. On a recent visit home I went for a walk and climbed the beautiful Roseberry Topping. It was also a beautiful sunny day. Possible the first day in 2013 where I experienced rays of sun on the back of my neck after the dark and wet winter.
The silence of memory: Salisbury
On frequent walks I often see these dedication plaques fixed to park benches. Yesterday I saw one that was dedicated to two people who had lost their lives when the Titanic sank. On the same walk I came across this one, which was equally profound.
The floods came to the south west and whilst Salisbury was not the worst hit by far the water left many impressions of just how vulnerable we all are when mother nature decides to wage her finger at us. I took these shots whilst out walking with Poppy. The lake in the first photograph is not supposed to be there – in fact since the rains stopped its not.
A distorted photo that I’ve filtered to death until the pix are starting the scramble up.
