Best foot forward, chew on that
Chained, chained, chain of fools
LR-17396 - Well another week of overcast skies, cold winds and rain, certainly feel like a fool chained to a camera in the last few months waiting for a day when there there has been some decent light without something wet falling from the sky or lying on the ground !
Another from my drama (attempted) series, see companion shot below.
In the meantime have a listen to the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin and Chain Of Fools
Happy Fence Friday Have a wonderfull weekend, rumour mill says there could be sun, so watch out for it, I'm pretty sure it will only be short lived!

doʇs snq Kerb side and a Zebra
LR-19443 - Been working on a little project near by and the only place to park is in the doʇs snq or bus stop between the hourly services that infrequently stop here.
The pavement is heightened so the leftside drop bus can those less able or with push chairs off. Strange world a few years back a nice friendly gentleman or strong lady would give the person a hand, perhaps a carry down/up or assist a wheelchair user, then we wonder what happen to the sense of community living are we really so politically correct that acts like a barrier such as the Berlin Wall where both sides watched a number of children drown rather than save them, in fear of being shot.
SOOC apart from a small crop

Lamp, Well I liked it
LR-18364 - Ryde Town Hall mark II entrance, Ryde Town hall has had a chequered history and this is the lamp between two Doric columns on the second town hall (the original is on the opposite side of the road). The current building was used by Medina Borough council as it's offices until both Medina and South Councils merged to become the Isle of Wight County council. Prior to this it was used (to the best of my knowledge by Ryde Borough council). The property has gone through a number of changes in use including a music venue more recently and known as 'The Venue' the acoustics are terrible, the crowd capacity is limited to under 500 and is on the first floor which involves you clambering up an un-reasonable amount of stairs to get there. The clock tower perch on top is on the wobble but apart from all that it does have a very ornate light outside, which probably over the years has seen many a dispute, girls crying and all that other stuff that goes on outside.
The first Town hall designed and built by James Wyatt, the second has a small list of contributors;
1831 Design/Construction: as Town Hall & market house
James Sanderson - Architect
1869 Alteration: designed larger hall
Francis Newman - Architect
1869 Alteration: clock tower and exterior modified
Thomas Dashwood - Architect
A priceless treasure handed down through the years is the solid silver trowel used to lay the foundation Stone of Ryde Town Hall and Market House. This was given to the East Medina Lodge no 175 by Brother G Rendall, PM PPSGW, on January 21, 1880. It has been loaned to Historic Ryde Society by the Lodge and is now on display in Ryde District Heritage Centre.
The trowel was used twice - to lay the Foundation Stone in 1830, and the Copestone in 1831

LR-18573 - All a bit clinical if you ask me for a harbour, but then pleased to see a nut and bolt missing, which made me smile

That was summer !
LR-17389 - Well we had summer did you enjoy it :) Here's one from the middle of winter March when there was a glimpse of sun for a few hours one day, ok so it was behind a cloud most of the time. Meant to be a bit of ARty drama, left the end of the railing post in as I sort of liked it.
