Informative Resting Place
Well, I guess I needn’t have agonised over the universality or otherwise of the word “info” in the last post because an italic letter “i” is probably all that’s needed for most situations. Yes, the connection is tourist/public information points, “info” or “i”. Having said that of course, the letter “i” appears to have been […]
Temporal Triptych
The connection is “tourists”…in a slightly busier place and, I suppose, on block paving again. The three photos are from Antwerp Market Square and, according to the photo metadata, taken about 10 seconds apart. I thought a triptych would be a good illustration of how tourists can be gripped by the sight of something for […]
Natural Block Paving
The connection is “block paving”, or at least the effect of it. It’s a bit of a tenuous link, but then the areas in each photo are used by people for walking on and the paving is fairly regularly shaped. The scene was originated on slide film in the late 1990s during a visit to […]
Strictly Walking
On second thoughts, the sign is suggesting that small children should be closely supervised by adults presumably because other forms of getting around are also allowed in this space, or rather “shared space“. By the way, the connection is child buggies. This deliberate attempt at humour involves a friend (Chad) walking with his son (Alex) […]
Sign Overload
The connection, albeit slightly tenuous, is pine trees. The photo originates from 2003 taken on my old sadly departed Nikon 995, which was great for street/cowardly photography. Advert spotters will probably be able to date the scene more accurately. I like the juxtaposition of the word “elegant” with the disorderly nature of the scene. Perhaps […]
One eye on the past
The connection is “sea walls”, which I know is similar to “seaside walks” from a few connections ago, but I’m a bit limited for choice this week because my pc is at the computer hospital! I can only use what I’ve already uploaded to WordPress, a predicament which would be solved by fully subscribing to […]
Slow Progress? (By whose standards?)
The connection is religious buildings. The aircraft was behind the Church of Our Lady in Bruges and the people here are observing progress at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I guess the connection was also brought to you by the letter “B”, but I don’t allow such connections for this series! The Sagrada Familia is […]
When Rust is Good
The connection is rust, in this case the type that is regarded as acceptable rather than the more common terminal tin-worm that must be stopped in its tracks at all costs. Some people might recognise the rusty metal image above as being part of Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North sculpture. I say sculpture, but […]
Partial Delivery
The colour blue is the linking theme, oh and hands, as shown on the cover of the “Yellow Pages” phone book…and the chap who walked into frame. This image is from a series taken one Sunday morning a few years ago after I was surprised to find that a copy of the Yellow Pages had […]
Men of the Mist
The connection from the last image is people wearing hoods, or perhaps unseen faces*. This image was taken (on slide film) on a trip to Canada in October 2002 whilst sailing towards Niagra Falls on a Maid of the Mist boat (I think they have two). The trip to Canada was initiated by the lack of UK tour dates […]
