Again here is the young male King parrot making his way down to the seed.

Human habitation providing new amenities for the animal world.

sometimes the best bits are at the back of a building and not the facades, but where it butts up against adjoining buildings. sometimes its also the stuff of necessity rather than decoration that's the most interesting.

Nikon D800, 28-70mm lens,

Which I found just three years ago... still doing good business by all accounts.

It looks like it hasn't changed much since the 1920's... well apart from the modern telephone number and the neon strip lighting inside.

I can't help but wonder how shops like survive in this modern world. It can only be on their exceptional personal service. I say more power to them and good luck for the future.

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old broke pipe

It's been three long years

Since the quake was ripe

If I don't see a ribbon round the old broke pipe

I'll stay on the bus

Forget about us

Put the blame on aftershock

If I don't see a ribbon or an old sock

Not much graffiti around Tromso but this was at the end of a back street. Ice coming out of the guttering downpipes, and the snow gives a clue to temperatures in February around Tromso.

Maybe be of interest that Tromso is approx 217 miles inside the arctic circle.

Fabulous ironwork at the end of a downpipe in Troyes in the Champagne region of France.

I thought he was cleaning windows, but when I got home and reviewed the images up close he's actually marking bricks that need to be replaced.
