It jumped off the page at me. Still can't say why exactly, it just did.

I spotted one exactly like this one,
Except metallic, in Sydney. Must cost a bomb

Beautiful. What time of day was it? I’d love to see a not-BW version.

My cat...

Not my cat...

Partial cat...

‘I’d love a Babycham’. Which will mystify most of those on here who aren’t Brits of a certain age…

An encounter with the mythical beast at the factory in Shepton Mallet this morning.
iPhone 11pro plus a lot of Hipstamatic as the background isn’t exactly picturesque.

Not my cat...

Evaluating you as a possible, though.

Walled-up weirdness in Shepton Mallet. There again there is a huge old prison in the town.

Here’s another blocked doorway, with a quill pen left by the last scribe to pass through it?

I’d love to know the history behind this sort of thing.

It’s the only way they could squeeze the en suite in.

Ok onto it

Wow there were some real beauties this time around. The talent on mobitog is outstanding as illustrated by my pick for the win and also one I nominated for September Pick of the month and that is sdimbour with her “restaurant entrance at work”

​

For second I’ve chosen sinnerjohn with one of my favourite genres, mannequins and reflections with his nice contrasty “Mermaid image”

And for third, what nicer way to remind us downunder that summer is just around the corner with WOTANICUS “naked lunch

 

[zenjenny]

Thanks Kevin. Appreciate the reminder that summer is coming downunder, too - here in the West we’ve had an unusually wet winter. Halfway through September the sky should be Deep Azure, but today it’s Half-Hearted Blue

Congrats Sandra - love that image! I don’t recall ever seeing ducks at a restaurant entrance: is it a Paris thing? Congrats John and Bill, fabulous BW as always

 

[sdimbour]

Thanks Kevin. So happy to win the bnw with this one
Congrats sinnerjohn and WOTANICUS
zenjenny this is not a Parisian thing but our restaurant is situated in a beautiful park. And these one are used to get some pieces of bread from people eating outside. So everyday around 12, this family stand behind the door for the restaurant to open !!!

Well done Queen of b/w sdimbour always consistently great images.
Many thanks for my 2nd Kevin. I did think that one had been overlooked, but maybe not
Congrats WOTANICUS for 3rd spot, an honour to be squeezed between Sandra and yourself. Another fantastic b/w week.
