When they've finished, it'll be time to knock a few more buildings down and build something else. Full building employment since WWII !<br /><br />Traveling Hawk... Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It is always difficult showing pictures of a shopping centre !!<br /><br />Sciarada... Thanks, I had that many photos to share, it was difficult to know how to post and title them all.<br /><br />Lily Riani... Thanks, it's all about keeping an extra eye open for photo opportunities. Admittedly, some of these locations would be difficult to find on the first visit.<br /><br />Trevor Woodford... Thanks, hope they were good memories.<br /><br />Berit... Thanks, It's strange to see all the old buildings so close to the new ones.<br /><br />Tossan... Photography poetry with the urban, I like that. It's always a challenge to find interesting things in a city centre. I was fortunate enough to know the layout of the city well before taking any of these.<br /><br />Farmchick... Thanks, it's great to find alleys and historic buildings in places where you don't expect them to be in modern cities.<br /><br />Sweet Virginia Breeze... Thanks, I'm pleased that you mentioned the line and the balls. You have no idea how many different shots I have of these balls. There is a blue one in the style of the line every so many along the line. I took a few more animals on the wall, but the images got messy with heads and tails from others distracting from the main subject. This was the smallest, simplest and probably most effective. The shot of the whole wall looked nothing and it was a street with traffic queues.<br /><br />DUTA... Thanks, I tried to put as much variety into this post as I could. It was a nightmare editing out all the unseen images. Cafe Amore is a small Italian run lunch time (Americano interior look) cafe that in my opinion is the the best place to eat in Bristol for value for money spent and associated quality, quantity and happy service.<br /><br />Debbie Smith... Thanks, I tried to show the best bits. Hope I didn't make it out to be something it is not.<br /><br />Wind... Thanks, Maybe I should take your advice by using your concise commentary with this post as I end up saying too much. Cafe Amore does some amazing budget priced savoury sandwiches that you might prefer. The cake was a treat once in while when ... I had my camera !<br /><br />Cranberry Morning... Thanks, I spent a lot of time in the bookshop, that the owner will be wondering where I am now. The school wall was strange, it was near St Marys Redcliffe church in the last post and I spotted it by chance on a main road while travelling to the railway station. Yes that is a cake and the size of a normal teaplate should give you the scale of it. They did a Lemon one as well.<br /><br />Phivos... Thanks, I'm pleased you enjoyed these.<br /><br />Cimpoaca... Thanks for your kind words.<br /><br />Kae Lani... Thanks, Hopefully I can show you some more interesting places soon.<br /><br />Vicki Lane... Thanks, I did like the hedgehog. Hope you are enjoying the ride !!J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942077973453785319.post-70449405174730756302011-01-22T20:00:40.261+00:002011-01-22T20:00:40.261+00:00What a great virtual visit!

I could have spent hours in the Second Hand Books and Sheet Music store. The old school wall looks like part of a movie set...but a sad story behind it. Such an interesting town. What is the last photo? Is that a cake??
