Photothon 7: Dark Elf

It is quite common to see graffiti written on bridges. I still don't know how they do it. Dark Elf, Dark Angel - probably a pair of the graffiti goths.



This is another example of me looking at two things: transport as this area is on the main routes between London, the Midlands, and then the North West; and the nineteenth century lagacy. This is the land of the Grand union Canal and the West Coast Mainline - infrastructure that was started 200 hundred years ago

Most of the photos are pastoral, as if I am editing out the new town. Perhaps that is true but the fact is I prefer to run where there are trees, grasses and water. It may be psychological but it feels like you open your lungs more and it feels fresher. You feel more connected.

I love seeing buttercups in meadows - there seem to be more fields with them in now than a few year ago - or maybe its just a different part of the world.

They are rather wonderful. i also like the poppies in the hedgerows, which again seem to have increased in number.
