The pictures I’m sharing at present are the result of one of my occasional rambles around town. These trips are usually pretty aimless beyond a rough route plan, and even that is subject to change at short notice, with me just going whichever way looks like it may be interesting.
The city centre undoubtedly has a whole range of things to photograph, a great many of which I will not have noticed or considered photographing before, but at the same time it can feel over-familiar, so it’s a matter of just walking an looking for things to catch my eye.
The shots today are gathered purely because they all feature a splash of red (maybe fuchsia in the second picture), whether it be a post box, or a Chinese restaurant.
There will be a similar mix of stuff in the coming days’ posts.

On my way walking to work, I took the same route I have taken, give or take, 5 days a week, every month for about the last 12 years, and again in reverse at night. That’s about 5500 times – yesterday I noticed a post box I’d completely missed in all that time – and it wasn’t a small one either, a full blown bright red lighthouse!! Scary! Cheers Andy

They’re sneaky, those post boxes. Masters of disguise. I often see them wearing knitted hats, attempting to blend in!
