Yet More Doors in a Field

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

The loos in the field had doors, so here are some more doors in a field. Making the connection this time was difficult because once I’d decided on the idea of “doors” I realised I had very few photos of them!  (I have lots of windows photos though.  I wonder why that is?)  Anyway, one […]

The Festival Season

Posted on July 15, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

The connection is “temporary toilets”.  Here are some in a more familiar setting. It’s the festival season and the success of such events can be determined purely by how good or bad the toilet facilities were.  This image comes from a folk music festival in 2007 that effectively ran from arriving on Thursday to leaving […]

Exercise Regimes

The connection is seaside walks, the one above resembling a more traditional promenade than the one in the previous post. The seaside seems to bring out behaviour in people that they wouldn’t dream of doing in other public places. Sunbathing as a solitary activity seems to be something that people are only prepared to do […]

Seaside Walk in St Ives

Posted on June 30, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

The connection is umbrellas…in this case ones that are still usable! This image is from St Ives (Cornwall, not the one that gets a mention in the Half Man Half Biscuit song “For What is Chatteris“) on a day that thankfully improved weather-wise, although a bit of rain/mist can make for some good seaside pictures. […]

Eavesdropping Cat

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

I know, I’ve now used the colour pink as a connection on three occasions now.  I’ll stop at three, in fact I won’t really be able to connect with colour if I do stop there because this scene is otherwise mostly monochrome. This actually helped a lot with this photo because the dark grey cat contrasts nicely with […]

Residential Trolley Park

Posted on March 25, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

Sounds like a good idea doesn’t it?  If dwellings are quite close to a supermarket then why not have an official parking area for trolleys that are then subsequently collected by the supermarket operator?  This would be better than the informal basis on which trolleys often find themselves parked away from the shops they belong […]

Cross-walkers – Maybe they should be!

Posted on March 3, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

The last image was brought to you by the numbers 3, 4 and 5, so, continuing on a numerical theme, here’s the sad reporting of 3 pedestrian fatalities by the Barcelona transport authorities. (Photo date, Sept 2009.) It’s an attempt to pass on the responsibility for personal safety to pedestrians who are given a narrow […]

Indoor “Street Photography”

Posted on February 18, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

Well, this is one way to widen the scope of photographs on this blog; allow a tenuous link in the chain from the previous one.  The key word is “sleeper”.  I could also claim a further railway link because this scene (“Bedtime Story”) from 1995 was spotted at Liverpool Lime Street railway station.  Yes, it’s another scan from […]

One Guitar

Posted on February 9, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

The connection with the previous post is “one guitar”, the song being played at the time the shutter was pressed and of course it’s the subject of the image shown above (originally Kodachrome, yes we’re really getting into the archives).  What could the next picture be?  Possibly railway related because of the sleepers… The guitar is […]

On a similar theme

Posted on February 3, 2015 by Andy Thorpe under Uncategorized

Carrying on from last week in a similar vein, here we have Welsh music legend Mike Peters playing guitar with his two sons and a few other youngsters at this year’s Gathering event on January 31st. The song being played was “One Guitar” by Willie Nile.  I’m not sure what song Paul and Tom were playing in the […]
