Neglected










A piece of old farm machinery, long forgotten,
or
perhaps it's a piece of modern art.

Which do you think?

Found down a small lane whilst on holiday in Guernsey, this was the part we could see, the rest was overgrown!  It wasn't 'till afterwards we discovered it was inhabited.

FMTSO INVITING DOORS


This week have been unable to to be out so have cheated slightly and used some of my old stock.
A bit of an eclectic mix of doors but all within my locality. 

First we have my favourite pub,
it is as every pub should be, great food, (lots of it), great atmosphere, good prices, very welcoming as you can see and less than 10 minutes away.


A garden door inviting us in...



and one inviting us out.



Finally a Chancel arch leading to a Chancel door.

This truly amazing  interior is from St Michael & All Angels Church, Berwick, East Sussex.


Built on the origins of a pre-historic sacred site, parts of the present church originating from 12th Century with various alterations and additions during the following centuries.

The 20th Century murals were painted during the Second World War by the Bloomsbury artists, Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Bell.

Paths, Steps and Walkways


 Sovereign Harbour a part of my hometown,
a mixture of a residential  and working harbour
with paths running through it like a rabbit warren.





Part of the posh bit with large boats moored at the end 
of the home owners lawns.



A place to meet and say hello.
The bridges raise to let the boats through.



The paths and walkways are used by the local cormorants,
this ones drying himself after a spot of fishing for lunch.
Local swans also live here despite it being salt water.



and under our walkways the fish have their 
own walkways, trying to avoid the 
cormorant.



  All in all a busy place for paths whether they are static
 or of a watery nature.
