?????


This is my attempt to post the dullest photographic subject on the internet.... it's the victorian sewer vent at the end of my street...

Dull? That is quite interesting compared to my growing collection of photographs of abandoned shopping trolleys on Flickr.

Undeed Mullets!


Hmm Skuds are these trolleys in provocative poses? Then again I'm not sure there is a market for reader's shopping trolley photos.. I hope not!

I like it... but I hadn't realized that Britain's Islamization was underway already in the Victorian era.

Ah I think the viewpoint give a false impression! Actually I think the dsigner was going for a hellenistic look but I could be wrong on that! What I do like is that the Victorians had a sense of the ornate.. you can see Acanthus leafe patter on parts of it if you look hard enough

I like how it always looks like peteris is sniffing his fingers in his avatar.

Pretty phallic looking for a Victorian structure. What would Freud say?

look closer, he's smoking!

The idea that the Victorians were so prudish is a bit of a myth. Scratch beneath the surface and you'll find they were not much different to people today

I say he's multi-tasking. Smoking and sniffing his fingers at the same time!

"Scratch beneath the surface' - I do have a book about that. With many nice pictures. Not very Victorian ones.

How random! I have to admit, it brought a smile to my face.
