1664 - # 08/179


The Richmond upon Thames Bar Fly went out for a buzzz about last night and got caught in a time warp. If you think this looks harrowing.....well it was. The conversation ranged from the form and photogeneity of Bauhaus architecture to the beauty that arises by sticking to the discipline of the Sonnet form. Since the pub dates from the roughly the same year (more or less) as that stamped on the glasses (and before Australia had a name) it failed to provide the linear forms of Tempelhof airport that the Bar Fly was craving for.
This tortured effort was the best he could do to capture the play of light and shadow, of curve and straight line. (Enlarging the photo may help; but don't spend too much time on it.)

Service Industry - "ye olde style" - # 87

After enjoying the rides and the Merry-go-Round at the week-end we could retire to the New Inn. This building is over 200 yrs old, but there has been an inn serving travellers at this spot for about 500 years.
