Roadside Art, naturally

Just beside a roadside puddle this sculpture has been created by passing cars splashing water over the bushes, which has frozen on the branches to make this unique piece of art. I have seen others like this today, but this one was the best. Image cannot be loaded
Vertigo in Stoke D'Abernon

For anyone thinking of taking up being a tower crane operator , make sure you have a head for heights first. There are some rather posh houses being built here- not for the like of me and thee I reckon. Just down the road from here is the Chelsea training ground, it always makes us wonder- the number or people that wait for hours to see any of the players go in or out and for what??!! There are guards to make sure that no one waits on their side of the road, no autographs will be give and all the photographers take pics of poncy cars with totally blacked out windows-- SAD.

Even the posh folk of Cobham and Stoke D'Abernon have to sometimes live in a building site, the dwellings being built here though good folk will probably be way out of most of our pockets. Image cannot be loaded
Train Lines, Plane Lines and Power Lines.

Looking towards Cobham and Stoke d'Abernon railway station into the sun I had to be careful not to be seen with a camera. Just here we often see groups of people ( usually in blue ) waiting at the bottom of the bridge I am just to catch a glimpse and photo members of the Chelsea Football team. The area to the left on the photo is the Chelsea Football club training ground and the hopefuls wait for hours to see some of their heroes coming or going in their cars with blacked out windows.
