Ah the possibilities

 I'm trying to make up for being lax for the last few days by being extremely active today. I'd take a few pictures of where I worked if they ever gave us a spare five minutes there. As it is I've got some more lovely outdoor pictures for you. it strikes me as a little odd that this is in the middle of my local park, on its own little piece of tarmac, as if it deserves to be remembered and revered.


I can't quite make up my mind whether these are some very well made old ruins, or something new that was designed to look a bit like it just fell over. Who decides what to build parks anyways? I mean, some parks have lovely things in them like things and slides in interesting fountains and sculptures. Others have random bits of rubble and bridges over nothing and fallen trees that look like giants. And invisible lava. And really wiggly paths. And gateways to Narnia. Also, this is the only rubble in the park. it's like, maybe two or 300 years ago somebody decided that a random field would be the perfect place to build a building, absolutely certain that it would stand the test of time. And then some settlers came along and were all like "this will be the perfect place to build a city!" And then they did, and the city survived and the building did not.

These next few pictures have a lot of potential. I could have awed you with my amazing photoshop skills, but I decided to leave this one to your own imagination. That's the point of sights like these. They're all potential and no preconceptions. Any story imaginable could begin in a place like this.


The first one could be:
  • The site of a cult meeting
  • The home of a bunch of teeny tiny people who live in the forest
  • The lair of a fearsome monster
  • The home of a community of adorable talking animals
  • An invisible house
  • An invisible cow
  • An invisible Ferrari
  • An invisible anything
  • The only safe island in a lake of lava.
  • A gathering of very intelligent trees
  • The hiding place of an escaped convict
As for the second one, it could be any of the above but I can't help thinking it would also be a very handy place to hide a body. It would also be a brilliant place to lead your enemies. Those thorns are sharp.
