Photos for fun.

A very hastily taken snapshot taken as we walked along Prince's Street in Edinburgh. Had it been a second earlier the little fella would have looked connected to the sculpture.

'Hair' was/is a musical, with a fair amount of nudity. Sense is a charity supporting people who are deaf and blind. Marilyn was Marilyn!

I can't remember whether this was a special event or a one-off maverick frogman. I think it was outside a pub. The nearest river is about half a mile downhill from here.

One day when my wife was meeting friends in Eastbourne I decided to take the train in the other direction and revisit Shoreham-by-Sea which we had briefly visited a few years ago. Of course the rail traffic isn't too exciting along Southern's 'Western Coastway', but there is an ancient church, the beach & harbour and a large array of house boats. While waiting for the delayed train to Seaford, this crew came and set up on the neighbouring platform but didn't actually seem to film anything specific. They packed up and moved away within a few minutes.

I was on this bus when the Rover cut across in front, causing the bus to swerve into a pavement safety barrier. There was a small amount of damage to both vehicles and no apparent injuries. As it was going to take a time to sort out the paperwork, I got off and crossed the road. It was then I spotted the Renault advert which appealed to my warped sense of humour!

This Iris, along with Yellow Flags, are the only irises native to the UK.

and there's a queue forming to have their photos taken as well. 'Getting someone's goat' means annoying someone - I have no idea of the expression's origin!

I am experimenting by uploading a shot that was taken by mistake. Having checked the previous shots on the camera's screen, I was about to shut the camera down to remove the card to put the images on my PC, when I must have pressed the wrong button. For those too young to remember the expression, an exposure was what taking a photo on film was called. It originated when old plate cameras were in use and the light excluding cover of the plate was removed and then the lens cap. The plate, with its photo-sensitive chemicals on it was thus 'exposed' to the light from the subject. I suppose the principle is still the same as the shutter opens and light goes onto the light-sensitive cells.

A trio of shots from a wander round Lewes - the county town of East Sussex. They know that this will not embarrass the family pooch, as it doesn't speak French.

Two young Herring Gulls aren't sure what to make of a feather duster in the water by Newhaven Swing Bridge. This is not a colour-popping image. The eye-catching feather duster was in the river and I don't think I even boosted the colour saturation. This is an eye-catching reminder of the dangers of household items getting into our rivers.
