Garden Gates

Walking back from the centre of town this afternoon I walked down some really varied and pretty streets. It strikes me how different Bristol is from Manchester. For starters there are these horrible things called hills (living in Cambridge and then Manchester, hills are something of an oddity). But the city is also much greener, the houses and buildings are much more varied and individual and the whole places just seems to have more individuality and soul (apologies to any Mancunians reading this...) and I'm really looking forward to settling here permanently...

Continuing the theme of graffiti, here's some taken of the scribblings on the railway arches and car park walls by Charles St. I walk past these every day on the way to university, occasionally noting additions to the bunch....

Living in Manchester, there's not a whole lot of countryside or wildlife to photograph (though I'm probably not looking hard enough). There is, however, loads of street art and graffiti, some of which is just vandalism but some is really interesting. So this topic of graffiti may become a running theme (see 'Cow Rustling' back in October), but here's a few more that I've seen on my route around the city.

Imagine my shock at seeing a cow on top of a van parked in central Manchester...
