Someone driving an SUV ran into this pole and snapped it completely. The only thing holding the top of this pole up is the power and cable lines. Note the natural gas meter on the left of the photograph. 10 feet farther left is a gasoline pump. If those lines had snapped and sparked this could have been a real bad scene.
Blue undies: She is my first broken petite. I repaired her a long time ago. She is here for moral support for her sisters.
You... succesfully torn my heart, now it's only pieces. There's nothing left but pieces of you... ( You - Ten 2 Five)

Near the oyster beds at Ferry Bridge on a very foggy day. The seagull was a very patient subject. Weymouth, Dorset, UK.

Wasted and wounded, it aint what the moon did, Ive got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow, hey frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Im an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And Im tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks english, and everythings broken, and my stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cabs parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old bushmills I staggered, you'd bury the dagger
In your silhouette window light go
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Now I lost my saint christopher now that I've kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me
No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say
That the streets aren't for dreaming now
And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
They want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,
And the old men in wheelchairs know
And mathilda is the defendant, she has killed about a hundred,
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
And its a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on an
Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers
And goodnight to mathilda, too
waltzing mathilda, or, Tom Traubert's blues - Tom Waits
A broken window in the Wudadao neighborhood of Tianjin, China.
Wudadao (五大道), or the Five Main Avenues, are an affluent and historic section of Tianjin, China, in the Heping district just south of downtown. They five main avenues (streets more than avenues) are: Chongqing, Changde, Dali, Munan, and Machang. They take their names from cities in southwestern China.
This is a small, eminently walkable neighborhood (nearest subway station is Xiaobailou on line 1) that is most renowned for being eclectic. It is primarily residential, but sprinkled throughout the neighborhood are quite a few chic restaurants, trendy boutiques, a few sculptures, and a small park. The avenues have an east-west alignment and – from at least two of them – there are nice views of the Tianta Television Tower to the west that can be framed by the tree-lined avenues.
Wudadao is a photographers’ delight. Architecturally, it has a smattering of quite a few different styles: Renaissance, Greek, Gothic, and Romantic. The area designates 230 buildings as historic with those architectural styles from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. About 50 of the houses have been lived in by local and national celebrities which also adds to the quirky attractiveness.
Strolling the avenues with a camera is a wonderful way to spend a morning or afternoon. Stop in and grab a bite at any of the restaurants in the neighborhood. (I’m personally quite fond of Chateau 35 on Changde Dao which is one of the best steakhouses in Tianjin.)
If you are tired of strolling – though the area isn’t terribly large – you also have the option of renting bikes to ride around (standard, tandem, or “bike carts”) or even touring the area by horse and buggy. You will most certainly run into photographers like me trolling the streets and probably be pleasantly surprised by the area.

better large - Lunedì sera ero triste e stanca e alla fine ho anche rotto un bicchiere. Mi sentivo anch'io così, un po' a pezzi. Perchè non fare una foto?
We went round to my nans on Sunday to get the veg planted. First job was to rake the veg plot. Within second the end was off the rake. This wouldn't be so amusing if it wasn't for the fact that every single time I go to my nans I break her garden tools. I'm begining to think she puts all these duff tools out and about, already bust, so that I break them and buy her brand new ones. What a cunning plan.
Phil.

My Agnes arrived crippled. The wrist joint hole in her left arm is so loose all the hands just fall off. I already contacted liaisons about it, but I don't know which one sucks more: having a doll with leprosy or having to send the doll back to States to be fixed and getting her back after all the hype has died out and the doll is old news. :(
We had a trip to Prague in January – for Jayne’s birthday - we don’t buy Christmas or birthday presents, we travel instead. We left snowy England for a very, very dull and grey Czech Republic. Yet again I was on a photographic downer looking at the weather forecast, grey is the colour that haunts me. Fortunately it was dull grey and not burnt highlight inducing bright grey.With the grey sky acting like a big diffuser I was going to have deep shadow and contrast to deal with. We had three very short spells of broken cloud which gave us a bit of sun and colour, which I managed to more or less anticipate so we managed to be in decent locations every time – generally somewhere high.
We had been upgraded to a five star hotel, apparently our original choice was flooded. We got compensation and five star hotel upgrade– a first for me. The Art Nouveau Palace has a beautiful interior, with beautiful rooms, the breakfast room was fantastic, as was the breakfast it has to be said. We were able to have an early breakfast so were out on foot just after eight. It was very cold – and dull! We spent the whole week well wrapped up. It drizzled for a day, but never really wet us, it snowed for a day, again we didn’t get wet and the snow didn’t settle. We walked 65 mile, spending plenty of time checking buildings and their interiors out – and coffee shop and bar interiors it has to be said. Although it was dull and sometimes wet I decided that the Camera was staying in my hands for the whole trip. Whenever I put it in my backpack for one reason or another I regret it.
Again, I didn’t look at any photographs of Prague before we got there, I like to just walk and discover, with the DK guidebook in my pocket (which is full of photos it has to be said). We like to get off the beaten track and see the grittier side of the places we visit – within reason! Prague has an incredible tram network, over 1000 trams – with many of them Tatra Eastern Bloc machines. The system seems chaotic but in reality it is incredible with one of the largest networks and highest usages in the world. The trams and cars frequently share the same road space with very little in the way of drama, none of the inexplicable and pathetic constant horn blowing one finds in many countries. Once it became apparent that buildings with a grey blanket as a background were going to be a bit un-inspirational I decided that the trams would be a good focal point instead. Where I have photographed one of the older trams against a background without clues it is easy to imagine that the photos were taken fifty years ago.
The train network also provided photo opportunities. The rolling stock ranges from old Eastern Bloc to very modern double decker’s and pendolinos. There are three stations although we visited the main station and Smichov. The main station interior is art deco and has been renovated by a private company. The exterior and the platforms are very rundown with a grim eastern bloc 1950’s feel –but it works! We discovered to our amusement that we could just walk across multiple lines, no health and safety, just keep your eyes open and don’t walk under a train – you’ll make a mess. Smichov station was grim, it didn’t help that it snowed all day and was grey and bitter. We felt like we were in a 50’s film set in Russia, broken concrete platforms and dereliction. With both stations there was another world underneath them. The underground Metro is running seamlessly and efficiently away beneath your feet. I didn’t have any problems taking photos anywhere but I was very open and obviously a tourist, I didn’t act covertly or suspiciously. There was only one occasion I was stopped and that was in a shopping centre – full of CCTV cameras filming everyone else!
We discovered old and beautiful- and very large- shopping centres hidden away in quite a few places. Brass framed windows and doors, shops thriving, there was a massive camera shop with thousands of second hand cameras, too much to look at. Many of the landmark buildings prevent photography, some make a small charge, some encourage it, the DK guide book gives a good indication regarding camera use. Nothing stops many people though, they just shoot away regardless, usually wanting a picture that includes their self. Prague is surrounded by low hills and has a fair few towers that you can pay a few pounds to go up, so viewpoints are plentiful. I think we visited most of them. I read about the Zizkov Tower, which looks like a Soviet rocket on the horizon and we headed straight for it - after crossing the rail lines! Set in a quiet residential area, there wasn’t a soul about. Two beautiful girls on reception and we parted with a few pounds, into the lift and were on the observation deck with no one else up there. There are fantastic views over the city, but! It is through two layers of not very clean glass so you go for the view rather than sharp panoramas. Still a fascinating place, with a nice café bar and very clean toilets – there are toilets everywhere, usually manned with a fee. Places are well staffed compared with home were three students are supposed to run a 20 screen multiplex cinema.
Graffiti was prominent, no matter how grand the monument, some moron would have daubed it. How do they get away with it in a 24 hour city centre with a strong police presence? The place is very clean, constantly being swept. What did surprise me, was that many buildings, that looked grand and built of stone, from a distance, were actually rendered with very low quality brickwork concealed. When restored the building look very impressive, others are missing the outer render from ground level to a fair height.
I need to cut this short really, I like to put a background story to the photos and although it would be better to individualise it to a specific photo or group of photos I don’t have the time to do that. I do try to give specific detail in the title bar after I have uploaded, this is time consuming enough although I’m pretty proficient at it by now. There are many things I would like to write that should be of interest to anyone thinking of going to Prague but I’ll have to let the pictures do the talking. As usual I am unlikely to be selective enough with my uploads, I’m not very good at leaving photos out so I just upload and be damned.
