The Dog Show at the local village fair - # 28/10

As most of you know, I don't do "people shots", but this one was so nice, I couldn't resist it.  (The village fair on Ham Common).

Textures - # 27/10

Richmond Bridge in June sunshine.

Cotes du Ventoux 2007 - # 27/10

I'm not a fan of this sort of artifice via software, but it does make the wine look true to its appearance, and stand out, which is my point.  This was a very acceptable example that went well with the slow-roasted shoulder of lamb. 

Double espresso - # 26/10

Attracted to the light the RuTDP Bar Fly drowned in the double espresso. 

The Bar-Fly goes cultural - pine staircase c1902 - # 25/10

Yes, indeed! This is another in the much applauded RuTDP occasional Bar fly series.  It's about pleasing shapes and arrangements (in the bar or pub); so let's admire this lovingly restored pine staircase - an example of the period around 1902 when the so-called "arts and crafts" movement was active in British architecture.  The Dysart Arms pub in Petersham is a good example of this style.

A Chaos of Chairs - # 24/10

I won't bore you with too many chairs, but I like the patterns and the tones.  The riverside terrace at Richmond Bridge is such a fine place to just sit and watch, and let the thoughts wander.

A Congress of Chairs - # 23/10

We seem to be stuck on the theme of places to sit.  Anyway, Freefalling of Australia will probably be pleased to see this. Glorious day, and I managed to stagger about in Richmond for a bit.  This is the terrace outside Tide Tables Cafe (again: and always great for a good photo).
