Tracks
I espied a pair of shoes by the toy train railway tracks. Maybe the owner was in a hurry to board the train!

Night
“She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies…”
From She walks in beauty by Lord Byron
A moon lit and starry sky reminds me of Lord Byron’s poetry…

Doors

Those tiny flowers
Those tiny flowers peeping through the wooden slats of the gate remind me of ragworts and Anne Stevenson’s beautiful poem…
Ragworts
They won’t let railways alone, those yellow flowers.
They are that remorseless joy of deteliction
darkest banks exhale like vivid breath
as bricks divide to let them root between.
How every falling place concots their smile,
taking what’s left and making a song of it.
Anne Stevenson (b. 1933)

Reflection
Posted for the New Mundane Monday Challenge: Learn Photography which focusses on creating beautiful compositions of seemingly mundane things.
In this picture, I tried to capture the reflection of an ordinary railing in the rain water. The inspiration is the Reflection Photography in Trablogger’s facebook initiative #30LearningDays.
Lighting Up
The sometimes-ignominious lamp post… As the advertising guru David Ogilvy put it…”People use statistics as a drunk uses a lamp post – for support rather than illumination.”
I checked out the statistics for this lamp post illumination… it was out of order 46 times out of 100!
