With Rolf joining us to visit Mount Rainier National Park today we made sure that we stopped often enough for him to stretch his legs (strangely enough the little guy never seems to need a pee or poo).
We stopped off at a small rest area just before Box Canyon where signpost pointed towards the "Wonderland Trail". Cinko was so excited at the fact that we may just have stumbled on Alice and the Mad Hatter that he quickly put on his jacket and beckoned to Rolf to come with him on the trail.
They only managed to get a few metres into the trail before Cinko came to a halt and turned to Rolf. "I is sorries Rolf, they has a sign which say no dogs is alloweds!".
Rolf's eye slowly moved downwards in sadness at not being able to hunt for Alice on the Wonderland Trail, and even though Cinko really, really wanted to continue he decided against it, "Rolf, we is like 'Muskytears', we is one for alls, and alls for one, so when you can nots go furthers then I don'ts either!".
Back to the car they hopped and skipped with Rolf happy that Cinko considers him a key member of their "Muskytears" team. "We finds somewheres else to go explores, okays Rolf!", to which Rolf barked in approval.

turrets, for Sir Walter Raleigh. Enlarged by the addition of the four wings
of 2 storeys with cellars and hexagonal towers in 1625 by Sir John Digby.

Before going into the castle, I took these shots.
Unfortunately photography is not allowed inside. At least I got the guide book (which has interior photos).
Castle Entrance sign.
Inside the castle: No photography, No dogs, No smoking and No food & drink.
What's this world coming to when you can't take your dog for a walk in a field because it might disturb the birds...
have a great Friday and upcoming weekend!

A lovely young lady who modeled for a couple of the First Friday shows I attended. She brought her pup to the beach this afternoon for a little play time.
I went to Kings Heath Park, a few hours before it was due to start snowing in Birmingham. It was freezing here.
The grass and the small pond / lake was frozen.
A second playground - for older children.
Sign - Welcome to Kings Heath Play Area. No Dogs.
Photographed using the Pentax MZ-50, and Kodak Ultramax 400 film. Taken at Grants on Sherbrooke, Kallista, Victoria, Australia.
Dogs don't read - Owners should! The Sandspit, Montana de Oro State Park, Los Osos, CA.
A very "pet" peeve of mine - owners taking dogs where they are not permitted - or off-leash where they are not permitted. However the opportunity does not often present itself for this sort of photo. Now if the OWNER were closer to this off-leash dog... maybe he could have been in a family portrait under the "NO dogs" sign.

A quick stop at Avon Beach in Mudeford near Christchurch.
Was no point parking the car (pay and display) so I got out and took a few pis before heading onto Highcliffe Castle.
Avon Beach is a family run resort, situated on an idyllic ¼ mile stretch of Dorset's South Coast.
Avon Beach - beach safety sign.
I've always wanted to return here with my camera. This is City Centre Gardens, which is hidden away next to Cambridge Street. Centenary Square and buildings like The REP hide it from public view.
When I got here, it started lightly raining, and I got some rain drops on my camera (I wiped them off).
Glad no one was in here this time. Previously I saw young people in it (last year) and got put off coming in here.
A sign by the Cambridge Street entrance. No dogs except guide dogs. No ball games, bicycles or wheeled sports. Sign on the behalf of the West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Council department of Leisure and Culture.
The gardens felt nice and peaceful (and fresh). Just like the Peace Garden. Even with a bit of rain it felt peaceful here.
Shots in Regent's Park. We went in the other end last October, so didn't want too many shots of the park this time.
Was a lot of people sun bathing.
We walked all the way back from London Zoo into the park. Apparently we walked past the former Home Secretary Charles Clarke (former MP).
It was a long walk (glad we earlier got the 274 bus to the zoo, so we wouldn't be tired when we got there).
This is the Rose Gardens in Regent's Park.
Saw this sign of No dogs and No ball games and had to take it.
harsh beach segregation at camber sands.

ps thanks for sucking all the joy out of this one flickr colour profile!
This is the People's Park on a gloriously warm Bank Holiday Monday (May Day) in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
Sign for People's Park Play Area.
No signs: No skateboarding, dogs, bikes, football, drinks or glass.
This is Villa Comunale in Sorrento. It has nice views of Marina San Francesco below including the beaches and the port.
It is a small park / garden.
Signs near the gated entrance to the park.
No cycling, no dogs, no football.

No Dogs est un magazine trimestriel, papier, distribué gratuitement sur Lyon à 10 000 exemplaires et diffusé partout ailleurs via le Web. No Dogs est né grâce au soutien de l’Association pour la Fondation Étudiante de la Ville, l'Afev, une association de lutte contre les inégalités qui agit dans les quartiers sensibles dans quelques 180 villes en mobilisant des étudiants bénévoles. No Dogs présentait la démarche de vouloir être un journal qui entendait créer du lien en traitant notamment de la vie culturelle et associative de Lyon. On peut dire que le pari est réussi.
Mais qu'est-ce qu'un magazine urbain d'expression libre ? La recette et le mode d'emploi paraissent des plus simples : à chaque numéro, un thème est lancé lors d'un appel à projet ouvert à tous :
Si vous avez une passion pour l’écriture journalistique, pour l’infographie ou envie de collaborer à l’aspect commercial du journal, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter pour participer à l’aventure No Dogs. "Paraît des plus simples", car No Dogs, c'est aussi une équipe de bénévoles qui, réunie en comité de rédaction, sélectionne les meilleures propositions, fabrique le journal, le distribue sur l'agglomération lyonnaise, recherche des financements, organise des événements.... Chacun peut faire partie de l'aventure.
Pour le numéro 7 de l'été 2009 et dont le thème était "Gourbi", ce sont ainsi une cinquantaine de journalistes, professionnels et amateurs, graphistes, illustrateurs et photographes qui se sont coordonnés autour de Estelle Duquesnois et Nico Juret, respectivement aux manettes de la rédaction et de l'artistique. La qualité de certains articles, comme cette interview de Nora Aceval en page 6, rend intemporel leur lecture et leur 8 premiers numéros sont à dévorer ici.
Notre but n’est pas de débattre d’une actu dont tout le monde parle ! Notre principe : autour d’un thème général à chaque numéro, nous écrivons des articles sur des débats de notre société actuelle. Nous voulons avoir une approche ludique et décalée sans avoir la prétention d’être une parole unique. La diversité des auteurs permet des regards différents au fil des articles, forcément influencés par la personnalité de chacun. Mais, cette subjectivité n’empêche pas la sincérité de nos écrits qui entendent parler au plus grand nombre.
Le sujet du n°9 de cette année est était "Présomption d’Egalite", projet effectué en partenariat avec Radio Pluriel et Raï Mag, dans le cadre d’un travail collectif des médias associatifs lyonnais sur les discriminations. L'intro de la charte rédactionnelle de ce numéro donnait ceci :
L’égalité en droit de tous les êtres humains est reconnue par la déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme. La loi française identifie 18 critères de discriminations et protège leurs victimes. Mais l’actualité montre chaque jour qu’il ne suffit pas d’encourager cette égalité des droits et d’adopter des législations visant à les promouvoir et à les protéger pour que dans la pratique toute discrimination disparaisse.
NoDogs ouvre la parole sur cette question, avec une approche tant sociétale que sémantique. Le but sera en effet, au-delà de penser les discriminations aujourd’hui, de réfléchir au poids des mots, quand on traite de concept complexes tels que l’égalité en droit, des chances, de traitement... On sait la force rhétorique que revêt ce concept d’Egalité, qui dépasse les clivages politiques, on sait la montée actuelle des notions d’égalité des chances et de discrimination positive, postulant que la valeur n’est produite que dans la mesure où les individus poursuivent activement les chances qui leur sont offertes, et le déclin corrélatif des revendications d’égalité de résultats.
NoDogs vous ouvre donc la parole sur toutes ces notions.
On attend avec impatience de pouvoir le lire.
After leaving Anne Hathaway's Cottage behind, I went into Jubilee Walk.
Signs near the footbridge.
To the left was the Shottery Brook Walk. To the right Stratford Town Centre (1 mile away - my destination by foot).
In the middle was a No dogs sign.
It was built by The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, opened in 1977 during the Queen's Silver Jubillee.
A modern development in central Bristol with lots of restrictions. No dogs is a strange one, are people who live there allowed to keep dogs I wonder? The ban on things like skateboards suggests it may be elderly residents who live there but I am baffled by the ban on sunbathing! Do some people try for an all over tan there?
One of Sydney's more interesting public spaces - but far from accessible to all. This sea pool at North Curl Curl is the least easily accessed of the ocean pools on Sydney's Northern Beaches. But it still hosted a winter swimming club, despite having a small island of rock in the pool.
In high seas, it would be wise to swim at a different sea pool, but riskiness and the access difficulties help give this pool a sense of being both a secret space and a public place. Even here you encounter signs telling you what you can't do - collecting certain types of intertidal wildlife is not permitted and no dogs are allowed in the area. Not sure how effective the anti-dog sign is for dogs not accompanied by humans.
