Coat of Arms II

This just off Park Street made me smile. I’m not sure if I’m in Charlotte Street or Great George Street at this point. I climbed up a few steps to take this shot, which might give a clue to my actual location.

This link has more information on the artist, but it inaccurately says it’s on Park Street. Strictly speaking the building it’s on is on Park Street, but the piece itself faces onto a side street!

Seven

The name of the shop is Seven, but this composition looked more satisfying in the frame. I’ve tagged it as graffiti, even though strictly speaking it isn’t. The shop owners have ‘borrowed’ from this genre.

Woooooh!

A near neighbour to yesterday’s photograph. It reminded me of a ghost, hence the post’s title.

It also looks like this wall has had graffiti cleaned off it previously.

Stuck-on Graffiti

The first example I’ve seen of pre-prepared graffiti art stuck onto a wall. I found this on Lower Park Row.

Friday Bench: Ghostly Shoppers

Whilst I was in Bristol last week taking pictures of the Christmas lights for Veg Plotting, I’d moved upstairs at Cabot Circus to get a different viewpoint of the tree with its Christmas lights.

Whilst there, I noticed the relative stillness of the 2 people on the bench compared with the shoppers passing them. As I was taking hand held pictures in relatively low light, I thought this might result in some interesting shots, suggesting solitude amongst the Christmas shopping melee.

The light patterns on the floor are from a lighting effect projected from the second floor. The tree is a real one and because it’s growing in a semi-covered spot, it hasn’t lost all of its leaves yet.

Boo!

A statue lurking in a shop doorway on Park Row.

Cabot Circus Reindeer

In Bristol’s new temple to consumerism, they do their Christmas decorations on the rather large scale. This reindeer is peeping over the balcony on the first floor.
