Food search

Food search.

Can you spot the 'heese'? Good picture of a toaster.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Bingo from The Banana Splits

23 December 2013 

Bingo from The Banana Splits.

Bingo was in town. He left in rather a hurry, somewhat afraid of the oncoming storm.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Stork's bill

14 December 2013

Stork's bill.

It's not, of course; I just hoped to trap a few ornithologists who might be searching for it. This is a lady clip, partly obscuring a sycamore seed.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Plastic mould for earphones

14 December 2013

Plastic mould for earphones.

Not for the the first time, the beauty lies not in the object, but in the textures and colours of the surface it's part blocking.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Weirdo's hat

14 December 2013

Weirdo's hat.

This was a big unit. At least the size of a postbag. Lord only knows how it came to be just lying around on the pavement.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Hanging around

14 December 2013

Hanging around.

One for the dandys. This is one of those things you get in shops to display ties and neckerchieves.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Dead clown

12 December 2013

Dead clown.

Evidence of either a postmodern horror film or student hijinx. In Luton? Probably the former.


 St Ann's Lane, Luton

Night cap

9 December 2013

Night cap.

This hat may recently have been the property of a youngster or ne-er do well.We may never know.


 Charles Street, Luton

Dead bread

8 December 2013

Dead bread.

Regular Street Object visitors may remember the sliced white trying to cross the road. I fear that this loaf may not have made it....


Hitchin Road, Luton

Green pencil, hiding

8 December 2013

Green pencil, hiding.

This pencil was hiding under a leaf next to a lamp post. It was possibly staking out either the bookmakers, two doors up, or the cash machine next door.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Street cleaning

30 November 2013

Street cleaning.

The colour of the leaves is entirely natually enhanced by a button on Windows PictureThing called "Normalise". I hit and saved about a dozen times, and now it looks all CGI.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Schedule

30 November 2013

Schedule.

Who wears their week's work schedule on a lanyard? One less person, since the proud owner of this particular example cast it aside.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Leads

30 November 2013

Leads.

It was so tempting to write 'Leeds'. I'm very glad and pleased I didn't.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Blue hand

30 November 2013

Blue hand.

It's just a glove, clearly. The other half of the pair was skulking near a bin, and not on the street proper.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Fake blue flower

30 November 2013

Fake blue flower.

Either that or a fat butterfly with a hole in its midrift.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Mouse oxygen?

30 November 2013

Mouse oxygen?

Probably not. There's no tubes or other apparatus attached to it, which you'd surely need to send the gas to the rodent.


Hitchin Road, Luton

A metal pin

23 November 2013

A metal pin.

A very thin pin. Very small. Looks like it might be a very discreet stud ear piece for someone with exceptionally thick ear lobes.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Some of those cigarette filters

23 November 2013

Some of those cigarette filters.

Not for the first time, my phone camera doesn't do its subject justice. But that's what they are, some of those cigarette filters.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Cheap, sliced bread

23 November 2013

Cheap, sliced bread.

I didn't stage this. It looks like the loaf is trying to cross the road.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Peppa Pig

23 November 2013

Peppa Pig.

One for the kids. And the Dads; eh Dads?


Hitchin Road, Luton

Anaemic shrimp

23 November 2013

Anaemic shrimp.

Poor fella.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Three KitKats

23 November 2013

Three KitKats.

I wanted to save these for a special occasion. Many people don't get on well with Mondays though, so for them, three KitKats (321 calories).


Hitchin Road, Luton

Marble

23 November 2013

Marble.

Sadly, the phone I use for this blog doesn't have a macro lens.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Unknown object

16 November 2013

Unknown object.

This looks like part of a game or an hallucinogenic drug. Any ideas?


Hitchin Road, Luton

Manholes

9 November 2013

Manholes.

Not so much street objects as furniture. If anyone would like to open a debate on whether or not they should be included, please do.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Chicken bone

10 November 2013

Chicken bone.

Most chickens in the UK are reduced to this of a weekend.


Church Street, Luton

Arriva mystery object

9 November 2013

Arriva mystery object.

Most likely something to do with bus tickets. Looks like a cigarette packet.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Bin and umbrella

9 November 2013

Bin and umbrella.

Also a can of what looks like cheap energy drink. The umbrella probably knackered by high winds.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Poppy

9 November 2013

Poppy.

Commemorative.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Recent trendy confectionary

9 November 2013

Recent trendy confectionary.

Everyone used to enjoy Chupa Chups. Not anymore they don't.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Ear ring

9 November 2013

Ear ring.

A touch of glamour.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Cat collar

9 November 2013

Cat collar.

Cat owners may recognise the rubbishy safety device designed to fall off at every opportunity. This collar may have been removed by the breeze from a passing car.

A rather perplexing sighting; any signs of cat without the moggy itself on the Hitchin Road are worrying.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Poor counterfeit

9 November 2013

Poor counterfeit.

No one, surely, would be convinced by this. They've even mispelled 'lycra'.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Cutlery

9 November 2013

Cutlery.

White fork, trying to blur itself into the edge of the frame and hide behind some leaves. It's not working.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Heel

7 November 2013

Heel.

A trip to the capital demonstrates paucity of interesting street objects. This, near the Royal Courts of Justice the best find. I only later remembered that a friend of mine collects heels.


Strand, London

Low tar

3 November 2013

Low tar.

Tobacco-less cigarettes. Filter and paper parts intact. Scattered and, on a windy day, aligned quite strictly along a line delineating two different surfaces of the pavement.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Car

3 November 2013

Car.

Model unknown. A little blurred.


Hitchin Road, Luton

Meat

3 November 2013

Meat.

Probably kebab. November it might have been, but the sun reflects quite beautifully on the meat container.


Hitchin Road, Luton

A bag of blood

3 November 2013

 

A bag of blood.

Doubtless a relic from Halloween. Unlikeable confectionary. Pulled me up sharpish, I can tell you; I assumed a nasty story. I wasn't wrong.
