Another take on the Chinese and Korean tourists and a group of Japanese school girls crowding the narrow lane leading to the Kiyomizu-dera shrine in the outer suburbs of Kyoto, Japan. The shrine is actually quite a long walk from the bus stop, through what starts off as a residential district and later gives way to a rather busy and crowded shopping street. We will get to the Kiyomizu-dera shrine itself in a bit (see subsequent pictures later in this album) but for now, I must state that I spotted several groups of Japanese school girls (yes, girls mostly, hardly any boys) as part of school excursions visiting important shrines and tourist spots on my travels around Japan.

A selection of shops on the Weedon Road the baths at £169 plus VAT seem to be very good value.A spare bath in the garden could be handy for the Reptile that you have just bought from Realm of Reptiles.
Built on the corner of Seymour and Neil Streets in the provincial city of Ballarat, this former butcher's shop would have been erected in the early 1900s.
Built of red brick, the shop still has its signs with the lettering clearly cut into stone. On the upper panes of its windows, 1930s signs painted in brilliant red and cobalt blue advertising ox beef, corned beef and choice veal are still clear, if a little faded by the passing years. It also has its original white tile panels with black tile chequered detailing around the windows and corner door. The shop still boasts a very original interior, with high ceilings of pressed tin, weatherboard walls and windows of dark blue and lime and bottle green dimpled glass.
No longer the local butchers, the shop today functions as a studio for a local artist who has embraced the shop's original function and its history by hanging her works from the original meat hooks that hang from a rail along both the Neil and Seymour Street facades.

Peterlee, is a New Town in County Durham, named after Peter Lee the miner's leader and county councillor. George Grenfell-Baines was the primary architect on the project, having replaced Berthold Lubetkin who resigned from the Peterlee Development Corporation in 1950, his ambitious plans for tower blocks having been rejected as unsuitable for the geology of the area which had been weakened by mining works.

An Indian family traveling with everything but the kitchen sink outside Amritsar train station in Northern India. We are here to take a train to Chandigarh. During the 5hr journey I spotted several families traveling with everything but the kitchen sink as well, like this elderly Sikh family here. The reason for a long foreground and consequently a very poor photograph is this: my camera has been packed in my backpack, and we are rushing off to catch our train. I have taken this picture with my iPhone, which of course does not have optical zoom. I had to be discreet and shoot from a distance in order to not disturb/ irritate them. It was simply not appropriate to walk right up to them and take their picture. That's why this picture has a long foreground- my own sense of decency and lack of optical zoom on my iPhone.(Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
You'll Never Leave. But!
The water is not local.
Locked room mystery.
Three new episodes of The League Of Gentlemen are on the telly, starting tonight, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their Perrier Award win and BBC radio series in 1997!! The snow storm/globe/Precious Thing in the picture came with the VHS tape (remember that?!) of series 1 but most of the water has vanished. I assume it's water.

It was just about half an hour to departure time and there was no sign of our train yet. Eventually, a WAG-7 freight locomotive brought in the empty consist of our train, the Amritsar- Chandigarh super fast Express. There was a bit of a scramble getting on as there was no reservation chart and there was a lot of crowd, despite it being an air con car we had booked ourselves into. We finally settled down with a little over ten minutes to departure. We departed soon after and I was not able to check if the same locomotive continued onward to Chandigarh. Freight locomotives often haul passenger trains in India. I assume it was the same locomotive as there was really no time for a locomotive change and building up enough brake pressure at that stage.

We caught up with the garish looking hop on-hop off bus later, near that Ambedkar rotunda. I didn't want to get too close as it would not fit in the viewfinder due to it's added height. At any rate there were several motor scooters zipping about. And at any rate, I'd already made too many unscheduled stops to take pictures, so did not want to piss off our guide. I could not figure out the make of the bus- could be an Eicher. (Sutlej is the name of the bus body builder). This is not a true double decker chassis- it's just a two level bus built on a regular bus chassis. May not be the safest thing to do, but it probably won't hurt due to the really slow speeds the bus travels at. We saw it outside of city limits a couple of days later on our way to the India- Pakistan border at Wagah. The bus was still moving pretty slow. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)

Out trip to Amritsar is now over, This is the historic Amritsar train station. You can take a train here to most of India and also to Pakistan on some days of the week. We are here now to catch a train to another city in Punjab- Chandigarh. That city was, in comparison to Amritsar, from a different era altogether! Chandigarh album coming up soon.

Stapleton Road, Bristol, seen on Thursday 24th February 1972. Expecting that almost every pre-modern building would be demolished and replaced in the foreseeable future ...I kid you not, that's the way things were going... I was now making an effort to get in first, as it were, and photograph the streets and shops while they were still active. Heretofore I had been limited to taking snaps of boarded-up houses and ghost town streets. As you can see, in the distance beyond the BP sign, part of Stapleton Road, down past the Lebeck Tavern (some years later its supposedly authentic name, "The Lebecq", was fraudulently retro-instated), had already been cleared ...as long ago as the early 60s, I think.
As things turned out, I could have saved myself the trouble. There were no further large-scale demolitions in Stapleton Road and this rank of buildings is still standing. The great redevelopment brainstorm, which had started soon after the war, suddenly faltered and lost conviction in the mid 70s as people ...even the redevelopers themselves... became conscious of the calamity that had taken place. It was too late though, for much of Kingsdown, the original Broadmead, Newtown, Easton, Totterdown, St Agnes...

I spent a morning taking photographs at my local butchers. I like the traditional look of the subjects and surroundings and it makes a unique and interesting place to take portraits. I chose here to take portraits for my college portraiture project as i like an interesting background and things to be happening in my portraits, also to portray sides of a person not often shown in a portrait.
Thank you, Marisa...shipping my favorite coat off to New York this week.

Sunderland 52'3 alongside Ralphy Carr’s newsagents shop at the Brandling Street stop in Roker Avenue. People living around this tram stop had a choice of three tobacconists, two newsagents, three grocers, two butchers, two bakers, two greengrocers, two fish and chip shops, two off-licence shops, one pub - and the Ebenezer Methodist Church on the right.
On the extreme left is Duncans grocers shop, where my mother went on her first outing with her new son Malcolm. She parked me in my pram outside the shop near the door, did her shopping, came out and went home without me. Gran said "Where's the bairn?"

Now we can look at the culinary side of Amritsar. Punjabi cuisine is of course well known, but apart from 'kulcha' (stuffed naan/ unleavened bread) and other items, the city is also famous for it's dried fruits, spices and amazing array of condiments. Famous here is also a 'wada' (fried lentil doughnut) like thing, dry, and so spicy that it is guaranteed to blow your head off. It is used in sauces and soups as an alternative to red hot chilly peppers. Papar Wariyan is considered the best of the lot of stores selling such stuff, and so here I am posing with my sis in law outside the shop. The name 'Mahajan' sounded very much like a name from my home town Poona (Pune) in Western India. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)

....sometimes, there is this need in being dressed rather understated, as a means of keeping our energy....like after days of lots of extroversion and exposure. It helps in restoring our balance.
Understated maybe, but attention to detail still....

-> turtleneck: in light grey cotton mix, from a local shop

Nestled alongside the Perry Road canal, the Sogabo Art Gallery stands as one of the most charming and beloved cafes in the area. This traditional Japanese coffee house offers authentic whisked matcha lattes.

One local trader looking forlorn on a day when local shops and cafés should be benefitting from extensive extra footfall passing by on the way to Ludlow Castle's Medieval Fayre. The whole event was cancelled at the last minute owing to too much damage on site to make the event safe for visitors, exhibitors, performers and staff alike caused by Storm Arwen.

I saw this while walking in Brooklyn. One of the great pleasures of New York City is all the local shops and restaurants in the neighborhoods. It's such a refreshing change from the boring sameness of malls, chain stores and fast food places that have made so much of our country a bland wasteland.
