Bees a-swarming

This afternoon’s trip around town included bees swarming, train carriages awaiting renovation, sitting on the fence, and looking down the straight and narrow.

Bees swarming
Bees a-swarming. This was as close as I felt comfortable with. Individual bees were buzzing around me as it was.

Awaiting renovation
Some old electric railcars await renovation. Two down, five to go.

Pavillion at the showground
The main pavillion at the showground looks small and insignificant from this angle.

Sitting on the fence
“Sitting on the fence”. I’m holding the camera about 6ft / 180cms abve the ground for this shot (and shooting blind).

Straight and narrow
“On the striaght and narrow”. A long road heads up and over the hill. It looks pretty quiet here but I had to wait several minutes before it became so.

Camping; shopping; spotting

These are the things I found around town this afternoon.

Wicked campervan
Not quite a flower-power hippie campervan with flowers painted on the side - but something that’s, perhaps, supposed to look like one.

Birds in flight - sculpture
Metal birds twirling and swooping around the tree tops.

Arcade shop window 1 - lenses

Arcade 2
Arcade shop window 2 - cuticles

Burnt bin
This could have been a toxic fume situation. Looks like somebody set this bin alight - it burnt well enough to melt the plastic lid, but not well enough to be consumed entirely.

Whispy clouds at sunset
Light, wispy clouds looks like they’re rising like mist. I’m sure that if you look hard and long enough, you’ll begin to see other objects materialising from the wisps.
