Anyone who has gone on an organised tour which involves
transport by what many regularly refer to as a’bus’
soon learns the correct terminology for a tour bus,
is coach.
Courtesy of Coach Cam we can ride along with Diana
on her wedding day.

I happened to spot this harpist
setting up in Brugge.
What appeared to be tourists
were being lead her way.
Five minutes later not a sign of her.
Must be the shortest practice/busking
session ever.
I know I posted this image last week,
however, looking at again I could not help
but wonder if this bloke could practice
his pick up technique a bit more?
Even Lucerne’s famous Chapel Bridge,
which crosses the Reuss River is an ideal place
to hone one’s skills and perhaps glean
a few tourist dollars/euros in the process.
A Bourke Street, Melbourne, busker
What a way to practice one’s
Twister skills and…
…pay a bill or two at the same time.
I love this image.
The very young appreciating
the older generation’s skills.
Something not seen or heard very often
these days….unfortunately.

Whether in Black and White…

…the El Alamein Fountain at
Sydney’s, King’s Cross
makes for spectacular viewing.
Back home again and just inside
the main gate to Geelong’s
Botanic Gardens is a fountain,
which on the few occasions I have visited
the Gardens, has been inactive.

It also was our shopping centre

A week or so ago I posted
this image of statues outside…
…Saint Salvator’s Cathedral
in Brugge, Belgium.
To the right of the first photo is this one…
…which is part of this end of the Cathedral.
Ludwig of Monday Windows
asked about the bricked in windows.
Construction of this version of the Cathedral began
in 1250 and was completed around 1350.
In 1696 William III introduced a window tax in England.
Building owners were taxed according to
the number of windows in their building.
Consequently some owners bricked in
their windows to avoid paying the tax.
Source-Google: Why are windows bricked in
Would it be fair to assume that this is
the reason for bricking in these
windows also?
This is the trigger photo for this post.

Except for the signs, this could be a shop window
almost anywhere in the world.
Although Melbourne would have to be excluded
until least mid-September this year.
Just about all retail is closed until then.
Still in Brugge.
To the best of my knowledge this is
definitely not an Australian building.
Last from Brugge and Belgium.

Unfortunately there are no

However, they may be found
outside the entrance to
Saint Salvator’s Cathedral,
