Dog Tired

What separates us from the animals? Many things, of course, and one of the things that separates me from animals – and in particular, this dog – is that I wouldn't lie down on the flagstones in the shopping precinct for a rest.

Communicator

Very bright but quite cold this lunchtime and there wasn't a great deal going on in Chichester. I only decided to take a shot of this particular woman because she stood still for a few seconds and it's a shame that I didn't fire off a few more photos as – mere moments after addressing her communicator – she was encased in a sparkling shower of exotic particles as her component atoms were dematerialised into energy form and beamed to some unseen location. Bloody intergalactic explorers. For #MonochromeMonday curated by +Charles Lupica, +Bill Wood, and +Hans Berendsen. Google+: View post on...

The Ruby Slippers

We build our houses from bricks and mortar in these parts which has one major benefit – a resistance to tornado flights – and a related major drawback – a higher than average occurrence of wicked witches. For #ShoesMonday curated by +Olga Kafka and +Laura Harding. Google+: View post on...
