Empty frame

fishyfisharcade1 Comment

The curious thing about this picture is that, if you look closely, you can see that the writing on the sign affixed to the building is reversed. When I first saw it I had a moment where I thought I’d scanned the negative back-to-front, event though I was sure the building and empty sign-frame were positioned this way when I composed the shot. In the end I checked Google Street View to check I wasn’t going crazy and discovered that the sign is actually reversed in the physical scene. Perhaps the owners flipped it over at some point. The empty frame certainly gives the impression that accommodation is no longer available.

A new development

I occasionaly drive one of my sons to work and the route takes us past an out-of-town industrial development. At this time of year, the light on the buildings in this area can be lovely and I’ve shot a few rolls of film down there recently to try and take advantage. As well as the existing buildings, a number of new structures are under construction, including the one in the blog today. The last time I drove past it a few days ago it looked considerably different to view presented here as most of the walls have now been fitted to the frame.

Riderless wheel

The big wheel that stands on Cleethorpes beach has features in a number of photos on the blog recently, often in the distance. Today there a couple of closer shots.

The obvious thing to note about the structure is that the seats have been removed while the ride is closed over the winter months. Without these though it presents a cleaner profile against the blank backdrop of the blue sky day.
