Turkish Bath- Closed

i walked past these Turkish baths on the way to an art preview last week.
i love this sign. it’s got a simple headline, and an equally explanatory sub heading.
then, for those who want to know, it explains in unexpected detail exactly why the Turkish bath is closed (click the picture for a readably sized one)
what’s more it was produced by the local council !
i wasn’t looking to have a Turkish bath, but i did feel refreshed by this sign.

a rich seam of passport photos

libraries are great places to find lost photos. especially university ones as we all know what students are like.
here’s a display of lost/found passport photos from the library window at UCL.

i’ll add to www.davescollections.com at some point

chairs


center parcs

we went to center parcs yesterday to visit some friends who were staying there. jane stayed at home to mark exam papers.
it’s quite a long way to drive and we nearly spent as much time travelling as we did having fun when we got there.
still, nothing would stop anna and kezia fearlessly running round on tree-top climbing things.

kezia finally becomes gemma

what is this thing ?

any idea what this insect is ? it was in church last thursday evening and was about 5 cm long.
luckily (for us) it was deaded already.


coke on a chair


dummy

i take a huge proportion of my floor-based pictures in Queen Anne Street in London. Here’s another example.
It’s a dummy. without any 6 year old’s legs this time.

vomitting

here is a paper recycling bin vomitting up it’s content. luckily paper vomits are very slow so i had plenty of time to get this photo

seeing double

have i got two identical wives ? is this a trick photo using a mirror or digital editing ?
no, it’s jane and a portrait of her drawn by kezia.
the real jane is the one on the right

alien technology

the fight against aliens is taking place on the streets of london:

any ideas what this vehicle is for ?

british taxi

here is a taxi with the union jack reflected in the window and the BBC building behind it. very british.

here’s another one (see the bonnet reflection for the recently refurbished outside of the BBC’s broadcasting house)

open windows


horse guard


cleaners cobs

if you run out of sponges you can always use bread rolls as seen in this picture.

the move to red elastic bands

i thought it might just be a temporary thing, but it appears the post office have moved away from their flesh coloured elastic bands to a more visible red variety.
they are all over the place but i rarely photo them. it’s nice to keep some things for myself you know ?
