hey! i went to the cottage (it's my grandmother's), and it was fun but hard work + crazy allergy time, haha.
and thanks! the polaroid is from toronto, down an alleyway that only exists behind bars now; the lady was (ofcourse) removed, being deemed 'graffiti', sigh.
Oh man, really? That's such a shame when councils do that. I remember when I lived in Shepherd's Bush in West London a Banksy appeared overnight on a wall in the middle of a large roundabout. It was ace, but the council saw it as graffiti so covered it over with the ugliest square of board ever. The Banksy would have brought a lot more pleasure to people than a horrible old bit of board nailed to the wall that's for sure! Anyway, glad you had a fun time - how lovely to have a cottage to go to. :)
seriously! what is wrong with these people?! if it's a tag, i get it...but art? why not let it be? i mean, they spend millions on the ugliest, tackiest 'art' ever to put in public spaces, and then they cover up what people would truly love. i can only imagine how much your council is kicking itself for covering up a 'tourist attraction', haha.
as for the cottage, it's bittersweet - we were up to clean it up+out, as we have to sell it. i'm hoping we'll still have one more summer in it though...
Where are you off to? Cool shot!
ReplyDeletei went to my cottage! it was beautiful weather, but it was a work weekend (we're selling it this spring), so it was kind of sad. i love it there... :)
