Do you ever get those dreams where you find yourself walking down a long corridor with many doors?

Yup, anyone actually paying attention to the world has got to be up to no good...

Hippocrates Square Rhodes Old Town
A brief moment in time captured then repeated down the ages. Our presence nothing but an echo of former intent.

Old cannon repurposed as a bollard outside St Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, London. London still has a few such cannon bollards, mainly taken from defeated French warships. Newer bollards were made in the style of cannons. #history #folklore #London #architecture #weird #psychogeography #urban #cities

The Northern Line ticket hall in Bank Tube Station was once the notoriously overcrowded crypt of St Mary Woolnoth's Church, which was cleared of bodies and reinforced when the station was built. Passengers often feel a sense of desolation and some have smelt putrid odours wafting through the tunnels. One ghost sometimes glimpsed in and around the station is the 'Black Nun', a woman whose brother worked at the nearby Bank of England and was executed for forging a cheque. St Mary Woolnoth was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, a mysterious figure known as the 'Devil's Architect' for embellishing his buildings with 'pagan' adornments like pyramids and obelisks. In 'The Wasteland', T.S. Eliot wrote: "St Mary Woolnoth kept the hours, with a dead sound on the final stroke of nine." #PhantomsFriday #folklore #history #London #gothic #psychogeography #weird #paranormal #architecture #ghosts #poetry #poets

Down on the shores of the Mediterranean, in Tunisia, the breeze eddies the fine sand around under sturdy sunshades...

Within dreamscape we have the chance to see the world differently. The architecture of the streets beneath a transdimensional cloak.

The maize was so high in this field that I got lost for a few minutes. There was supposed to be a public footpath running through here, but the farmer obviously didn't give a hoot about that...

One from the vaults today: taken during a long, hot summer spent in the French Alps - many, many years ago...

I've been doing a lot of cycling with one of my grandsons in the last week - much of it in delightful forest, serenaded by the scent of pine trees in the sunshine...

I was sat at a pavement café yesterday afternoon when I noticed this chimney, opposite. My first thought was: 'I bet those ferns aren't enjoying this 30° heatwave very much'...

This is a souvenir from my trip to Rotterdam a few weeks ago. The city turned out to be much nicer to look at, and built on a more human scale, than I'd imagined.

The Greek god Eros has a brother, Anteros. While Eros ignites fiery desire, Anteros is about affection that is mutual. He acts as a balancing force in relationships, but can punish those guilty of rejecting the love of others. The famous 'Eros' statue at Piccadilly Circus, London, is actually of Anteros, erected to honour the philanthropist Lord Shaftesbury. Anteros points his bow down Shaftesbury Avenue, with London legend claiming it indicates the direction of Lord Shaftesbury's Dorset home and last resting place. #FairytaleTuesday #folklore #mythology #history #London #psychogeography #weird #urban #architecture

A receding vista of sandstone, medieval arches, holding up the roof of the C14th Westgate, in Warwick. Arches were such a great invention, or were they more of a discovery? Nice as it would be, there is apparently no connection between the word 'arch', and the word 'architecture'.

One from the archive. "These places, defined by what they are not, are not yet or are no longer, have attracted many writers over the years. Marion Shoard, Richard Mabey, Iain Sinclair, Will Self and others have explored edgelands, usually on foot. I followed in their footsteps one January day when I undertook that most edgeland of activities: getting the car serviced." #edgelands #psychogeography #cycling #walking #biketooter #writing #photography

I'm back to a canal theme today. How could anyone not like the back streets of Venice? They are just a treasure trove of lovely vistas, and fascinating buildings.

Sometimes I go to the beach and it's all about the far horizon, the waves hitting the shore, big skies, and sunshine. But other times, it turns out to be all about the detail, and the beauty to be found in small, random things...

The paint blisters and peels as the hull of a wooden boat slowly rots away. I wonder what adventures this craft saw in its day?
