The bronze statue of Anonymus stands near the entrance to the bizarre Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest.
Anonymus magister was a monk, who wrote the first book about Hungarian history in Latin. The book, called "Gesta Hungarorum" is known from a copy made in the 13th century. The artist era, age, name and the reliability of it's writing is still debated among historians.
The writer's pen is shiny because touching the monk's stylus is supposed to bring good luck with studies.

This lady and her scooter are a regular sight on my exercise walks around the lake. We all need fresh air and somewhere to roam and the lake is ideal for people doing this in whatever manner they can...
De Al Berto:
(...)
o começo da escrita seria a sua voz quebrada
no silêncio obsessivo das horas
mas não
porque são horas de profundo e anónimo abandono
não o lembraremos mais
(...)

(very rough translation)
the start of writing would be his broken voice
in the obsessive silence of the hours
but no
because they are hours of deep and anonymous abandonment
we will not remember him anymore

Does Lesbians Anonymous actually exist? A quick internet search reveals a few hits including a facebook group with just 29 likes. Now that's progress. Anyway, our interpretation of this salacious headline also includes the tagline 'help for women who love women' which makes it sound more like some kind of self-help group. In fact though, now I think about it, the whole thing looks more like an advert for something akin to a ladies-only version of Grindr.
Like the rest of this sordid little lot these pictures have been reimagined from actual news headlines. I fill my head with this grubby nonsense so you don't have to. Vive la revolution!

Hundreds of people turned up to hear Jeremy Corbyn speak at a rally opposing Tory plans to weaken trade unions.
The Labour leader received a rapturous welcome from the crowd on the steps of Cardiff Museum as they waved banners against UK Government cuts after a march through the city centre on Saturday afternoon.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has spoken out against plans to restrict public sector strikes following a protest march in Cardiff.
He accused the Tories of "taking away the most effective means of securing better pay and working conditions" with the Trade Union Bill.
Mr Corbyn said he was "proud" of the work unions did trying to create a "decent collective society".
Around 400 people took part in the march on Saturday.
The Labour leader did not march himself, but addressed campaigners when they returned to their starting point at the steps of the city's National Museum.
Speaking from the top of a fire engine, Mr Corbyn said: "We've been through some terrible struggles, such as the miners' strike in the 80s."
He said workers continued to struggle in different ways, and defended their right to strike.
This is an anonymously published postcard of “British Manufacture Throughout” showing Piccadilly Circus looking north towards Shaftesbury Avenue. It is the summer of 1906 (but see below) and Miss Pansy Montague aka “La Milo” is appearing on a music hall bill at the London Pavilion. Miss Montague was an Australian artiste who posed barely clothed as pieces of classical statuary such as the Venus de Milo, Diana, Psyche, Dorothea, Venus de Medici and many more. She appeared with a man called Cruickshank who performed lightning sketches during the statuary changes, I think he may have drawn sketches, much in the same way as Rolf Harris used to do on TV, it must be an Australian thing. The London Pavilion advertised La Milo in this manner, “La Milo’s interpretations of classical statuary have been conceived in a reverent and soulful spirit. Her posing’s are intended to honour not to insult the genius of the past. Were the sculptors of old permitted to re-visit the earth, these modern representations of their immortal masterpieces would gratify and not pain them. La Milo has too deep and sincere an appreciation for the work of the Ancient Masters to lend herself to Burlesque. She is no caricaturist – this feature is wisely left in the capable hands of Cruickshank. La Milo the woman of the present with the figure of the past”.
Her performances were very popular to say the least and for one of her fans, his infatuation would prove fatal. At one of her performances in July a journalist named Richard Norman Lucas, a married man from Byfleet became enamoured of the lady and began to write to her. He was a Greek scholar and suggested changes to her poses to make them more historically accurate. They began a correspondence which would last until an eight-page letter overstepped the mark of their acquaintanceship, it appears that during this time Lucas would stalk Miss Montague wearing a disguise which included a red beard. On Monday 8th April 1907 he went to the Holborn Empire where she was appearing wearing the red beard disguise but was told that she was not there, later that evening he was seen staggering up the steps of Kingsway tube station where he collapsed, still wearing the red beard. He had apparently swallowed Prussic Acid.

Textured with three textures from JP Flypapers latest collection "August Painterly"...I used "Rialto", "Filone" and "Candide"...unrecognizable woman walking on the boardwalk with three people on bicycles behind her and a lone woman walking on the sand...all totally not recognizable at any percent size of the image as I selectively focused on the ground with my 50mm lens...= bokeh people...
Another flower I know nothing about - other than it's yellow, of course - but it made a nice photo. It has a pleasingly hairy stem and bulb, too. One day, perhaps, I'll teach myself about the flowers I see and saw when wandering about because it's be good to know.

This week's #FlickrFriday theme is #PreciousTreasure... I'm not sure these chips are the actual treasure but the life they represent is certainly precious.
An officer of Rochdale Borough Police poses with his motor vehicle outside police headquarters.
The force was based – as were many at the time – in the local town.
We think this image dates from World War 2 as the vehicle’s headlamps are shielded for us in the blackout.
Does anybody recognise the make of vehicle?
