A detail from the restored Cutty Sark ship in Greenwich, UK.

Chestnut

Clearly, this old chestnut in Greenwich has seen some hard times over its life....

Pretty hard to overlook, this bright blue warning sign in the middle of a very green field.

A--thankfully uninhabited--spider's web covered in tiny dew droplets. It's amazing how difficult it is to focus on something so ethereal with a consumer camera...!

The "polite notice" provides the finishing touch to this request. Also, from a psychological/communications viewpoint, wording it as a positive "Please keep your dogs under control" is a lot more effective than a negative would've been (i.e. "Don't let your dogs run free" or something along those lines).

Found this slightly Hitchcock'ian scene in Guernsey. Luckily for me, these were harmless birds taking a breather :)

This thing that happens when you let nature take its course....
