It's another sign

Continuing my theme of signs and weird stuff spotted: Here's a statue glaring at the passers by from a maintenance compound in a London Park...




The old gardeners sheds at a country house, but not for the likes of you and I.




Stating the obvious, during the big floods near the Severn.



Mr Jacket's baked potato van has long gone from Newbury, as has this building, lost beneath a new development.



On Iona: This shed is apparently B.T. property, so keep out.

Lets concentrate on where the light isn't: Sometimes its the shadows that define a picture. Here are some of hard light examples from the Mediterranean, and each one will have needed some exposure compensation. The first images hints at a sunny day. This one gives you the evidence: A clear blue sky glimpsed between shadows. This third image, also from the much rebuilt and restored fort at Paphos , allows us to see more of the building. A pleasing succession of arches and the reward is the sunshine at the end And finally one last shadow picture: One for Arthur C Clark: The Monolith in Newbury Kennet Centre car park.
