I tend not to take stuff that I don't find attractive.....my excuses for my efforts in this comp......well the tinplate house was being renovated and I helped to take it apart (it is beautiful now it has been completed)...the farmcart has a kind of 'down-at heel' shabbiness to it...the rocking horse...well that was a moment of mental aberration...for which I apologise!

I think this is what is proving the problem Margaret, most people tend to take what is beautiful on their travels, to show their friends what a lovely place they have been too.

I was tempted, but didn't take pictures of all the graffiti in Rome (disgusting place) .. at least thought I had, but musn't have come out.

We all grumble about sights in our town, but when asked very difficult to find something that fits the bill, isn't it ?

I wasn't meaning all the larger constructions, by the way, perhaps you have a neighbour who has a particularly ugly garden Gnome. One of my neighbours has this sort of animal sheep thing in the front garden which I think is a little knaff and ugly.

Speed cameras are ugly,but could make a good picture .. tee hee.

Ok I'm sinking.

Cheers this one has made my day. Hard clicking for the w/e now.

Margaret Pilkington · 05-07-2006, 20:27

We really need some more pictures to make this a viable competition.......surely there must be some of you out there who have pictures of things that you think are a sight for sore eyes.

I'll be putting some on ever the weekend, sure I got a few to go with this category somewhere.

There must be some blots on the landscape round here if only I could remember where I've seen them.

Still only 9 pics in this competition........

SPUGGIE J · 08-07-2006, 10:32

Still planning an expedition but the weather is ganging up on me.

K.S.H · 08-07-2006, 19:07

Well i'm struggling finding something for this one, if I don't like the look of something I won't take a photo of it

On the other hand if I have taken a photo of something and there is a "blot on the landscape" spoiling the picture I will have cloned it out and not saved the original

Anyway, I had a walk down the Dunkenhalgh a couple of week ago - (1st time in about 20 year I think - couldn't believe how much that place has changed) and got a few pictures from there that I have put on

Margaret Pilkington · 08-07-2006, 20:08
