Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Ailsa said ‘No matter where you go, there’s always something for sale somewhere. The items on display in local stores are often evocative of the flavours and aesthetics of the culture you’re in and make for really interesting photographs.’ The things I have photographed are not for sale but displayed in the Museum of Anatolian Civilisation in Ankara, I’m sure that still counts.
Would you like to join in? call in at Ailsa’s Place she would love to see you.
New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
This week the challenge is big and I almost gave up but then remembered these big sculptures in Bath. 
I love them!
Apologies, I’m going to have a busy weekend so won’t be around to visit everyone!
It’s Thursday so it’s time for Sandra’s Window Challenge and I’m pleased to show you this one from Exeter Quay. This building was originally built as the sign says in 1780 as a cotton mill but by 1834 it was a paper mill. It is now divided up into waterfront flats and in front there are some remains of industrial equipment, painted green and a nice touch of history. It’s the window I like best, and wonder why it was made that shape. The stone is most likely from Heavitree Quarry which was still in use when I was a child.
Join in at http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-4/ I’m sure you have some lovely window photos.
I like cars but I worked in the motor trade for twenty years and had my fill of them to be honest. These days as long as Sadie gets me there I’m happy. I do like to photograph them though and here are some of my favourites. 
I’ve no idea, perhaps there are some enthusiasts out there?
Classy but . . .
This is the best! Here I am getting into this sexy little number near Milan – in my dreams! Have a look at Cee’s stunning photo’s here and get some ideas about vehicle photography.
Do you remember my solitary post about Fifi the Black Swan ? Well I just wanted to report that she is still on the river and looking healthy. 
I realised today how much smaller she is than the white mute swans on the river, they would easily be able to pick on her. It seems they leave her alone now that they are no longer nesting, let’s hope it stays that way.
I wonder how many similar photos to mine there will be this week! I have just been for a walk by the river and decided to finish with a hot drink in the Coffee Cellar on the quay.
They always have divine home made cakes, but I managed to resist this time! Inside is lovely, they have comfy sofas and dogs are welcome but today was just warm enough to sit outside and people watch. Another other nice thing about the Coffee Cellar is that when they make you hot chocolate the put the bit that won’t fit into your cup into a little jug. My friend had the full works with cream, for me it’s just the marshmallows.
Thanks Jake for your DELICIOUS challenge!
I nearly missed this week because following didn’t work, Eat, Travel, Photograph, didn’t appear in my reader, but then I saw Elisa’s Challenge on Livvy’s Blog So this is my entry for Chasing the Sun, the Exe really is a great place for it.

Ailsa has chosen Animals to mark World Animal Day on Thursday, 2 days ago. I was very privileged to be able to visit Sepilok, Borneo to see the orang-utans, really high on my ‘do before I die’ list. I hope you like this beauty! 
Shiny Happy People! I hardly ever take photos of people except for family so I’m pleased to be able to display some of the ones I have taken. If you would like to join in, visit http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/weekly-photo-challenge-happy/ where there will be lots more happiness.
Have a Happy weekend.
