A bench facing on to the croquet lawn at Belsay Hall.

Yards Ahead
No idea what they're doing to the road down by the Civic Centre... perhaps building a giant monument to comemmorate Nick 'I'm Outraged' Forbes' 100,000 appearance in consecutive editions of the Evening Chronicle?

Looking Up
... at the soon to be redeveloped Tyneside Cinema building, which also houses (or used to) the Newcastle Buddhist Centre.

Plastic Flag
Record so far: 5 plastic flags on a painter-decorator's van going down Warwick Street - one on each corner of the roof, and one at the front attached to the aerial.

Space Needle Carousel
... at the foot of the Space Needle in Seattle. Shot on Agfa CTPrecisa and cross processed.

Merchandise
The crappest World Cup merchandise I've seen so far is a white plastic 'nodding' bulldog, crudely painted over with a red cross. But I'm sure there's worse out there.

Stevenson
I've never visited George Stevenson's cottage on the basis that it would probably be a disappointment, as he wasn't famous for living in a cottage. It seems a bit of a tenuous attraction.

Change Your Mind
A shop window display. Books are my big weakness. I spend too much on them, and never feel guilty, even though I would if it was anything else.

Freeway
Seattle - despite seeing as much as of the city as it's possible to in two days, it was hard to leave feeling that I'd seen so little of it.

Staff Wanted
OK - it says Staff Required - but is it worth changing the title? I think not. They don't want staff, they just need them.

Do Not Allow Your Dog
I'm thinking about starting a new group on Flickr called 'THIS MEANS YOU', based on the premise that many people these days seem to think that these kinds of signs apply to anyone but them. On the flight back from Canada last month, the crew asked all of the passengers to return to their seats because of turbulence. Naturally, that started a rush for the toilets, and even after repeating the request twice more, some people were still attempting to move around the plane.
Cyclists: please use cycle lanes; narrow pavements are not cycle lanes. THIS MEANS YOU!

Ambulance
Something strange was going on that evening. The night before there had been several police cars parked down there; a friend asked me later in the evening whether I'd seen what was happening (I hadn't.)

Clouds
The sign is for the headquarters of Northumbria Police, but you'll have to take my word for it.

Wall
Ponteland. Where Alan Shearer lives, apparently. I've always wanted to see his house, to see whether his fence is as well creosoted as rumour has it.

Road Grit
Please bear with me while I think of something to write about this, other than 'it's a big yellow bin full of grit'.

Public Market
Pike Place market in Seattle, on a beautiful sunny day in May. This is cross processed Agfa CTPrecisa too, as with some earlier shots, but there's hardly any colour shift.

Substation
These places always look slightly larger than they need to be, and I wonder whether the electicity workers store interesting things in them, like a fully stocked bottle bar.
20060607
Clock
On Northumberland Street. Every time the clocks go forward (or back) it takes weeks for anyone to change it - so if you were wandering in town without a watch, you wouldn't know anything had changed.

Max Headroom
I wonder if these are getting higher as the average car gets larger - and whether a BMW X5 would fit under here - they can't be far off 2m.

Taken on a ferry crossing from Vancouver to the Sunshine Coast. Crossprocessed Agfa CT Precisa.
