A Walk into Soho

[Dr_Strabismus]

Bar Italia, Soho

My destination (the bar, not Titiana the waitress).

What can I say? This place is worth a six mile walk.

Gosh I do love living here.

You are trying, and succeeding in making me homesick. When next back, I'll get off the train at W. Hampstead, and see if I spot you.

I'll be carrying my birch cane

One day I will visit.

What a lovely surprise - to take an journey to a dream place of mine.

There are jewels here.

I could stare for hours at that fountain.

thank you again

 

[Dr_Strabismus]

I hope you do visit.

Maybe I should post some nightlife shots too. That's a whole other side to the place.

 

[Grushenka]

Dr.: This thread's a real treat. I'd buy a guidebook to London from you anyday. I'm bookmarking this thread for future necessary daydreams until I realize my great desire of seeing your city in person.

I enjoyed all the photos, but I think most especially "The Fountain of Nothing".

Thank you very much,

Grushenka

I would enjoy that immensely.
You're a very talented phgotographer.

A detour through The Hill

This strange, dreamlike park hidden inside West Heath is almost always slient and empty. Occasionally you'll see ghosts here, but they tend to leave you alone, unless you've smoked too much weed, in which case they chase you along the palisades.

What a beautiful place...

Good pics, Joe.

Thanks for sharing.

I should take some of the walk into Edinburgh. It's about the same distance.

Next week, I have some time off.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I adore this thread.

 

[Dr_Strabismus]

This is another Regent's Park photo, from April last year. The flower is called a monkey-faced pansy. I can relate to it.

I don't know why I like this thread so much, but I do.

He's a monkey faced pansey?

It is a good thread.
I'm walking into Edinburgh today. Good weather, blue sky, 9C.

 

[Dr_Strabismus]

Here are some photos I took on my way to work today.

An unusual kind of maple tree.

I got the Red Carpet treatment from the woods today, which is all right and proper.

Lunn'n, guv'nor. B'ootiful, innit

They should change the colours of the British flag to Green and Grey.

Fabulous pics, now I feel homesick. Strangely enough I was just raving about the place in an email a couple of minutes ago. Thanks for sharing. And keep 'em coming mate.

i love this piccie too...
probably because i have a vine of these flowers (i know they don't grow on vines) going around my body.
the whole thread is a treat. i think im enjoying this more than the venice thread.

 

[shereads]

I thought you were in Venice. WTF?

 

[shereads]

Since we're sharing pictures that are or are not of Venice, here's one I took in my garden. The plant is a vase-shaped anthurium over six feet tall. Each fleshy protuberance is about nine inches long.

This disturbing incident took place on my deck. Another member of the anthurium family, this one wandered into my yard when I left the gate open.

Here, I've just finished dusting the garden and am about to go in and count the silverware:

You look a little fed up with the whole routine
