What lurks within

24 May 2015

There are two screws in this bag. Even though I DOUBT IT MYSELF. Something's up. Still, you can see one of the screws if you look properly.

Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough

23 May 2015

Things can get a bit hairy on the street. We don't need the likes of Nick Ross or Shaw Taylor to tell us. The other day, I was walking about and was asked for a fight by a "pissed up" fridge. Luckily a bin bag held it back.

Here, for a record of the dismal, is more drunken furniture.

Unlikely to play

23 May 2015

Broken cds often look more evocative than this specimen. If you don't believe me, you've not seen this site. Still, if you look with a gammy eye, can you see a swan's face?

Piece of pink

23 May 2015

For lo, even above the damp and dirty streets of old Luton, pink chimerical things float. Here's one such, heart shaped.

Christmas Bauble

12 April 2015

One that nearly got away. A nice reflection on the REAL meaning of Christmas. Does not the drain represent the stable door, and the bauble the Mother Mary and Father Joe?

Wigmore Lane, Luton

Three poignant objects - a comment on the human condition?

12 May 2015

Maybe, hope, despair, and fear (brown official envelope usually means trouble). The arrangement is very symmetrical, all right angles. Circled by an asymmetrical arrangement of cigarette butts and toilet paper.

Baby and plastic ladybird

17 May 2015

Baby and plastic ladybird? That's what this flipping nightmare looks like. Late 1960s psychedelic whimsy re-imagined by the Breaking Bad team.

Hastings Street, Luton

Prehistoric tooth

7 May 2015

Surely one of the very best street objects so far. Very exciting find. Doug McClure and 'Pete' Cushing would have been over the moon. An extinct species? Is it a tooth or a bird's skull? YOU DECIDE.

Windmill Road, Luton

Stock liquidation sales

2 May 2015

I've always wondered what's sold at stock liquidation sales. I still do.

Church Street, Luton

Hint of Spiderman

2 May 2015

There's a superhero in here somewhere. Damned toy phones. Is Spiderman still hip?

Hitchin Road, Luton

Slazenger

1 May 2015

At first, I thought this could have been the Jaguar car logo. But no.

Yellow flowers

25 April 2015

Discarded flowers never tell a happy tale.

Tiny Bob Marley bag

25 April 2015

Most likely use for this tiny Bob Marley bag is the safe transport of tiny Bob Marleys.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Inside out

25 April 2015

Looks like someone tried their own version of the City of London's Lloyd's Building in Round Green, but got frustrated and gave up.

Word on the street, £13

25 April 2015

Word on the street was necklace. At £13, you'd expect a half decent one too. Nothing amazing you understand, but all the same, something half decent.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Frames

25 April 2015

For those looking and for those who remember yesterday's post. Hurrah!

Hitchin Road, Luton

Lens

25 April 2005

Usually found in a pair. Not on this occasion. Now, where the heck's the rest of this pair...?

Hitchin Road, Luton

A lovely pink pair

22 April 2015

Possibly not as evocative or desolate as some of the other abandoned clothing posts we've had. And yet, there's plenty here if you look for it.


Cumberland Street, Luton

Overripe Mango

22 April 2015

Is this really overripe, or has the mango just lost a shoot out against a gang of lychees?

Brook Street, Luton

Stuck

18 April 2015

You know sometimes you see people looking to cross the road and taking ages. It might be that they're super-cautious, or it could be to do with the fact that some smartarse has glued them to the pavement.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Tiniest Necklace

18 April 2015

Possibly the world's tiniest necklace. I'd like to see a smaller one.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Learning the ropes

18 April 2015

Life is a journey and we're learning all the time. One of the things we should be learning is that we shouldn't leave so much ruddy litter lying about the place.
