Somehow I missed receiving my invitation to the royal garden party so I guess it's off to the cafe for me. (Surprisingly, the food was very good there but not cheap.)

(blogged as: Katherine's Factory of Mystery and Wonder) My so-called-award-winning blog has been too half-assed and depressing and I haven't been posting there enough for a while now, so I try to make up for it by posting some photos there first. A whole bunch from this abandoned factory--I'll eventually have a Flickr set for it, but I've been catching up on vacation and/or friend photos here lately. I'm sure there's a boring explanation for all the "Man Doors" signs, but I found them hilarious!

The long abandoned and derelict tunnels beneath Piccadilly Circus tube station still bear hallmarks of their past days, such as these Victorian signs, designed by Lesley Green, pointing the once thronging crowds in the right direction.

Although much of the country is in the grip of winter weather, and the Bay Area today has cold rain, these daffodils give promise of a warm spring to come! Seen yesterday in my neighborhood.

Fairplay, Colorado. July 2026

A sign of the times, another closed down shop leaving deserted high streets as out of town shopping and internet shopping rips the heart out of traditional town centres.

I first noticed this building in the winter. I finally tracked it down again. At night the neon lights up.

This leftover polaroid type 84 film has been VERY unpredictable.

Another of the many funny translated safety signs posted at tourist locations throughout China. This sign as posted on at the entrance to the shaky suspended foot bridge at the entrance to the Shibaozhai Pagoda. The pagoda is located on the northern bank of Yangtze River, to the east of Chongqing.

ANSH 119 #12 "Sign of the season"

This witch doll suggests the start of the Halloween season. We're already seeing stores overloaded with candy and costumes for sale, even though halloween is still way over a month away.
