Bundle
Scrap's stick supremacy challenged by Poppy the Idiot and some pathetic puppy. Needless to say,
it ended with Poppy pinned by the ear while pup stood around looking hapless. I did take a picture,
but I was laughing so much there was severe camera shake. The temerity of those bitches

Re: An image (or two, or three, maybe a dozen. Or more) a day
Part 2
In 2005, we moved from Bristol to Clevedon. Here, we go the other way.
I moved to Bristol in 1990 and only left the area in 2010, when we moved to Devon. Don't recall going back there
since. Anyway, 20 years, eh? This may take a while
The Ball in the Square
The Planetarium in Millennium Square, to be precise
Balconies
Clifton
View From the Bridge
Brunel's Suspension Bridge, looking South
Fully Interlocking
Georgian Streets seen from the Cabot Tower
Suspended
Looking West from the Clifton side
Fish in a Barrel
More or less guaranteed good shots around Millennium Square and the water front.
Same place tomorrow

Re: An image (or two, or three, maybe a dozen. Or more) a day
Certain types of photograph come in to their own at certain times of the year. January goes with sunsets, not because they are specifically
spectacular at that time of year, but because they are when I'm taking the dog for his second walk. And of course there are no leaves on
the trees, so I get good silhouette.
Vide:
Tomorrow in Part One, same month, different colours

Come on, it's a big ball covered in mirrors – of course you'll be seeing it again. More than once. Probably once a day. For weeks.

Into the third week of January now, and casting about. Part Two is still patrolling the waterfront (and nearby haunts) in Brizzle,
key port of the triangular slave trade
Amsterdam Calling
Downy Shade
Heads Up
Cyclamen bringing colour to the January garden
Scarlet
Mahonia leaves
Meet Me at the Cemetery Gates
St Swithun's, Sandford

Part Two
Cultures Clash
The boat is Thekla, which Viv Stanshall turned into a floating nightclub. The painting on the hull, of Charon the ferryman, is by Banksy
The Folks on the Hill
Houses in Hotwells Basin, with the Regency terraces of Clifton above
Hello Sailor I
Service guaranteed. Taking this picture marks the only time I was threatened for so doing.
They were going to call the cops because I was standing in the street taking a picture of a store front
Parked
Contractual Obligation
Hello Sailor II
similar tomorrow

Re: An image (or two, or three, maybe a dozen. Or more) a day
Part Two
Continues to ramble about Bristol in both senses of the verb, and finally manages to drag itself away from the water and off east to frontier country.
There's a lot more to it than that: Vide:
Long View
From the heights of Ashton Court in the south-west of the city looking to the hills (L-R) of Freezing Hill,
Lansdowne and Kelston Round Hill, behind which nestles Bath
The Frome
Underground now for its last half mile before flowing into the Avon, the Frome emerges, still walled in but open to the sky, near Stapleton
Cycleway
An old railway line between Bristol and Bath. The path could be accessed about 100 yards from where we lived in Oldland Common,
in the extreme south-east of the city, but this pic is from the ’80s, before we moved there
Edge of Town
There was a faint air of boondocks banditry about Mangotsfield, where Chip lived from 1987 to 1990
Dignity in Destiny
Mangotsfield's undertaker
Ruin
Of what, I could not say
continues tomorrow

Part Two
Scenes around Bristol in the late 1980s
Groovy
The famously alternative and proto-hipster Picton Street in Montpelier, then home of the only organic food shop in Bristol, and various hippy caffs
Subs and Assassins
Fly-posted former shop in Picton Street
Down among the Willowherb
Sally on the cycle path
Bandstand
Staple Hill Park
Down By The River
Cottage in the Avon Valley near Hanham
Snack Bar
Set up on the cycleway path in a former station building. The person doing the buying is our friend Ruth. Selling is Jill,
whom we didn't know then (about 1987) but who cleaned house for us in the mid-90s and later became a friend.
