Watering Cans (Revisited)

Just a picture of watering cans. BUT, I find the contrast between the two images a bit of a metaphor for the latest human condition. A few and everything is neat and tidy, an influx of newcomers and everything goes to rack and ruin.

Cacti

You know when you do stuff and the instant you do it you know you shouldn’t – well, I bent down to pick up one of the fruits that had fallen – oops! It was just one of things – no real hassle in my case, as my daughter was on hand with a pair of tweezers and quickly pulled the needles from the tips of my fingers, but I can imagine circumstances might be a little different if I had happened to be a little one.

The Reform Tower

Also known as ‘The Stanton Tower’ and ‘Earl Grey Memorial Tower’.

The tower was erected following the passing of the Representation of the People Act in 1832 – which ‘threw a spanner in the works’ of representational democracy in Parliament.

 Duke of York Stone

Another in my Peak District series – to one side of the stone a Crown above a capital Y and the date 1826 has been carved into the face – the exact significance of which is still a mystery to me.
More recently somebody has used painted the letters “DUPED” with black paint – again, I’m afraid the significance of this is lost on me.
