For years I've admired a kerbstone in the city of Truro. I can't honestly say that's normal, but there it is. Yesterday, I finally managed to get myself, the kerbstone, the camera, and some sunshine all in the same place at once.
A little way down the road, a view of the cathedral ended up, quite by chance, with a rather apposite shop sign in shot. Made me chuckle anyway.
Alf have you swapped out pens for (granite) paving stones?
ReplyDeleteNo, I find they feel a bit rough on the paper, and the ink flow is frankly abysmal.
DeleteIt is a shame that the beautifully crafted granite quirked ovolo curb is flanked by the sloppily patched steel check-plate. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Ironically it's also right next to the cathedral, which is of weedy sandstone simply wearing away in the face of the Cornish climate. So not just a kerb but possibly also a silently scathing comment by the local quarrymen on the use of inferior stone from "up country".
DeleteLooks like the pink Aberdeenshire granite we have all over the place up here Alf
ReplyDeleteWe're absolutely surrounded by the stuff down here too. Speaking for myself I'd rather be surrounded by good old London brick, but that's the hopeless urbanite in me.
