Cold enough to freeze a brass monkey at the local market yesterday......Folks were so wrapped up they weren't taking notice of a photographer on the loose:

This one is called....

IN THE FISH QUEUE

Certainly looks a hard decision Prawns or finny ??

Well spotted Fuji

the full nautical term for cold weather is "To freeze the balls off a brass monkey" which refers to fighting galleons and nothing to do with zoology

I love the chaps expression in No1 what a shot!.... But I certainly would not buy a secondhand car off of the fishmonger. His face says 'trust me' in a really creepy way

The monkey being the stand the cannonballs stood on? that was my take on it!

They look good in B & W. Is that the market by the Clock Tower?

Thats right the monkey was made of brass and the canon balls of pig iron The monkey contracted more in cold conditions and the canon balls fell off

Thank you for your kind words folks......................my brass monkey has thawed out:

I have probably seen you strolling around the lake as we usually take a picnic and flask and sit on a bench and enjoy seeing some green instead of buildings before we go for walk around..

I love my bus pass. :thumbup:

GREAT!.....Love my buss pass too.........did you know that there is now a wonderful hard paved walk all the way from the University Campus to the Abbey Fields?....just catch the bus from the City centre, hop off at he University then stroll into my patch.....or....vice-versa..........cafes at either end.

Next time you see a mop of grey hair with a camera by the pool or in town say hello.....you never know I might buy you a coffee ;-)

I don't think i will be walking from the uni to Abbey fields with my knee.

Had to cancel my knee op with hubby being so poorly and also myself, so just take nice slow strolls after getting off the bus.

I got a few shots of a rat going about it's business under the boards at the end of the lake.

I was quite chuffed as I had only taken my little Olympus compact that day.
