Everyday is like Sunday. Everyday is silent and grey.

    That’s a stunning selection of greys you have captured there. I saw barriers like that along some of the roads out to Narita with just the occasional see-thru one. I assumed they were noise barriers.
    In the late 80s I lived in a real concrete cowpat of a town, and as my walk to work was 45 mins and I’d start listening to Viva Hate as I set off it was always playing this as I approached and passed the rail station there – so very grey. Wonderful song and album.

      Cheers. Yes, doesn’t get much greyer than this.

      You often see these around new building or demolition sites. This is near me, and quite a few old danchi have been demolished, with some new ones built. Actually saw some new fences going up the other day, as more old building are set to be pulled down.

      The perfect listen for the environment by the sounds of it. And yes, couldn’t agree more. I have a soft spot for Vauxhall and I too.

    Amazing. Even his sneakers are perfect.

      Yeah, just the jeans. A pair of grey trousers or joggers and it really would have been perfect.

        I like the jeans and the little bit of weedy green grass… like, we all have to look for our small hopeful patches of color right now.
