Invisible

The back streets of Redland and Clifton can be rather dark at this time of year. At twenty past nine at night. Which makes them perfect for a bit of invisible parking (so long as your car is black).

I almost walked straight into this car it was so well hidden.

I say almost because the owner unfortunately forgot to black-out the wheels, which obviously alerted a socially responsible member of our Police Force to enforce.

Which has real benefits, because seen front-on E005FGX is also nearly invisible - only apparent from its registration plate.

The addition of a white, reflective parking ticket makes it much more visible. Job done.

Sunset over Purdown Camp

It would be a nice goal to have some cheery photo on a Friday; something a bit less demoralising than usual. A goal -one that will be hard to satisfy all winter. Here though, is sunset from Purdown Camp, by the telegraph tower.

Apart from the dogs that like to chase cyclists and terrify small children, there are some good opportunities to put in decent mountain bike trails here. The hard part will be working with the local motorcyle riders, rather than against them. They can be good fun to chase -two teenagers on a small scooter a can be reeled in on the gentle downhill, which provides exercise and amusement.

Once the clocks change and the commute takes place in darkness, then this route becomes seriously fun.
