      Yeah, hardly highbrow, but just way too hard to resist!

    I like the symmetrical lead in and what appears to be a tiny trail of grass clippings heading towards the trolley!

    The panels are just too shiny for graffiti (even though many passing folks might already have a suitable outfit these days), but they do have a nice lo-fi plastic lens look in the reflections. I’m assuming they are reflections somehow, and not part of an environmental ‘greening’ plan?

    …and those viewing panels are another mystery. I’m waiting to see who lives on the other side.

      Yeah, that little bit of grass is great, isn’t it? A lovely little extra.

      Those panels are everywhere in this area, but no graffiti whatsoever. And yes, just reflections as there’s luckily a bit of nature to combat all that metal.

      I know eh? You get to see in, but only sort of. A tantalising glimpse of what’s going up, or indeed what’s coming down.

    That’s an unusual photograph. Those blurred reflections a great and the odd cladding beond the steel is , well, what?
    Some of our garden fence is showing it’s age, I wonder if the neighbours would go halevs on something like this.

      Yeah, I really like those reflections. Oh, and the cladding is covering (more) new apartment buildings.

      Haha, you never know. Minimal maintenance, and there’s the extra bonus of reflections!
