Could it be that my ‘alternative’ credentials are slipping?
I’ve noticed my Spanish posts have, to this point at least, been somewhat traditional…..Landscapes, tourist style cityscapes and that sort of thing….Shot’s that, on the whole, I’ve been pretty happy with….But, if I’m honest, maybe slightly easy options, Spain is SO photogenic that you can, if you’re not very careful, find yourself photographically skating on the surface………Looking back over the four weeks worth of shots I’ve taken though, there have been a smattering of more idiosyncratic subjects….Today I thought I’d whip up a selection of those for you.
A mixed bag then…. A bit of street art found on less trodden streets, some strange juxtapositions and downright weird discoveries…Hopefully a little more ‘left field’ than the recent posts.

You, Tanya, are a woman after my own heart….
Sneering in the face of danger and adversity.
“C’mon Bertha you big old bag of wind ! Is that the best you’ve got?”

I see no fields but the pics are a tad smashing – Love the Corner plot and Imagine….. 🙂
Stuart Hyde - shpics
Oh yes, those field photos…I must have left’em somewhere.
I think Imagine is my fave, but for the life of me I don’t know why….

Because the colours are awesome, the lettering is top de chez top – as we say in France – and the photo really should have been an iconic album cover somewhere, sometime………… 🙂 ?

‘Top de chez top’ …. I like that 🙂
The colours are pretty rich aren’t they? It makes me think of some philanthropic Boho chocolatier, toiling tirelessly at his tasting table and coming up with some very boozy, cherry’y, dark chocolatey, fondant kinda concoction and then, because he’s just that kinda guy, generously dropping a slab of it in downtown ‘Poorsville’…
I don’t know how I stopped myself actually licking this building.
🙂

That sounds like one helluva chocolate creation especially the boozy cherry bit, the building even has little chocolate dimples and orange chips on the lettering – mouth watering! 🙂 Off to buy a Terry’s chocolate orange 🙂

Oh no !
Now you’ve made me really desperate for a choc-hit…

I’m a bit of a butterfly….. but these are the kind of things I like landing on most..

Well, I’ve been accused of having a butterfly mind in my time….never one to take the narrow, restricted path
Stuart Hyde - shpics
That sounds like a wise choice to me…..

Thank you Cornelia…..:-)
Though I do need help with bow-ties, quadratic equations and boiling eggs…….
My actual skill set is very limited I’m afraid.
