Last weekend I spent in Norwich, East Anglia and I didn't realise how my interest in the oddities of my surroundings had crept up on me. Instead of the usual snapshots of the castle - which we went to and enjoyed in the shade too on this 30 degrees day...instead of the views of this lovely market town...what did I take pictures of?

These trees are wrapped in paper depicting different aspects of the Olympics. It sparked a long debate on "What is art?" as we walked along! I worried about the trees being damaged.
We went to the castle and museum. Want to see the lovely tapestries...? Ha..no here are the sinks in the ladies wash rooms:

The wording on the sink was "
It is always pleasant to sail with a light breeze in these narrow waterways where you must handle your boat as if it were a thing of silk and threads". Peter Henry Emerson. Loved it but not quite sure it was appropriate ...still more so than these shoes.

Later we went for a walkabout - listened to buskers, sat in the park but then I noticed this which brought a smile to my lips.
If I had had my camera with me in the evening there would have been Banksy style pictures too but I will have to go back for those.
What I like is the unexpectedness of things. Just when you think you know what to expect something comes along and pulls you up short. Great eh?!
