Chinese takeaway

This boarded-up takeaway caught my attention the last time I was in Mablethorpe in 2020 and I made a picture of it then. It wasn’t a very good photograph though – the weather was dull and I think it needed some sunshine to get anything from the subject matter.

On my trip this year, the sun was out and I made the photo you see today. It’s most likely no award winner, but the jumble of tilted and broken letters, and the vibrant red, white, and blue colours attracted me and I like the slightly abstract feel.

Golden Stars

I liked the way the light was falling on this Chinese takeaway. Ironically, despite its name, the stars on the shop front are white.

The tattoo parlour next door has a notice stating no walk-ins. I don’t think there’s a Christopher Walken branded sign for that though. 🙂
