Brunel Rd Bedminster Down
Brunel Rd runs parallel to the A38 as it runs south west out of Bristol. This is the view north east close to the junction with Winford Grove.
ZlatÃčko, Ashton Court
Zlatíčko (Slovak for "sweetheart" and Czech for "honey", which are more or less the same thing) is a sculpture by Cjay Roughgarden, to be found southwest of the building. It is made of powder-coated laser cut steel. Something of a family photo - my niece can be seen in the distance wearing a white jumper.
Toilet under the hammer?
The disused public conveniences on Cannon Street have been closed for a good few years but recent activity has brought hoardings. The big advert on the block appears to infer the site is up for auction. Who would buy it - and then demolish it for new housing?
Red deer, Ashton Court
An identical view to taken over 14 years ago, but on a gloomy Boxing Day instead of a sunny day in late spring - when I wasn't that far away, staying in Lacock and getting attacked by a ram. Still, at least it wasn't a red deer. The park is Grade II* listed Link
