Suicide Food

I sent a photo of the Butcher at Toukley to the Suicide Food Blog. The have posted it on their site with some over-the-top comments. Take a look here!

Dead bats of the Inner West

Kids are lucky today! In my day one would never see dead bats hanging from the electrical wires (or are they telegraph wires? That's a question for another day). These days one can't go down the street to a friends house or to the shops without seeing any number of the fried critters. Here is a few to keep you amused..

Don't forget you can click on the photo's to enlarge them.

This one is just near Marcella's place. Marcella's dad is Matt Smith - See his blog here!

This next one is interesting. It wasn't until after I had developed the photo's (in my darkroom of course!) that I realised that there were two of them fried together. It's on the corner of Newington and Bright streets, Marrickville.

This next one is a real creepy one. It looks like something from one of Tim Burton's animated offerings. It's in Albert St, Marrickville.

Finally, here are some pics of a dead bat I saw on the footpath in Rosebery. I can only assume that it was fried on the wires and dropped down to the footpath when it had sufficiently decayed.

Some more bat resources for those who may be interested.

Photos of the Sydney Opera House under construction.

Have a look at these great photo's of the Opera House and Sydney taken in 1965 (I think) taken either by Sarah's Dad (John) or her Grandpa (Jack). John has recently scanned them from some old slides. No higher res available at the moment. It would be a fun exercise to take some photo's today from the same spots to compare. Hmmm, maybe if I get the time.

I love the red phone box in the bottom left of this one.

Absent without leave!

My apologies to both my loyal readers. I have been preoccupied. I promise to post more regularly.

The Plot Thickens!

I found another note. This time on the footpath on Aubrey St.

I don't know what to say. It's a fine little mystery. It contains some similar themes to the other but in a very oblique way.

Let's hope I find another.

Strange notes

The other day someone left this little note in our letterbox. I don't know exactly what it means. I did a search on the tubes but could find nothing about it. Is it a promotional flyer for something? Viral Marketing? It seems too flippant to be some sort of anti immigration propaganda.

It is about the size of a business card.
