Photos in the genre of Grant Hutchinson’s Splorp.com

Encroaching ceiling insulation    (2006.09.30)

Curious orange bleachers    (2006.09.24)

Nice day to go kayaking    (2006.09.17)

Sadly, I missed a better photo of this fellow portag(e)ing his kayak down the residential sidestreet. Only in the Beach (or at Bondi).

Newspaperman scooters    (2006.09.14)

Treaded paving behemoth    (2006.09.13)

Memory Lane Rolls    (2006.09.12)

It may well appear that a Silver Spirit is parked outside the truck-parts shop on a back alley.

The only way in which looks deceive is that the “alley” is a full-fledged street improbably called Memory Lane. It is now demonstrably possible to go down Memory Lane in one’s Rolls.

(“Do you drive it in the winter?” “My wife does,” said the old man in the hat with the too-broad brim. “Got to use them,” I said. “They can’t be just ornamental.”)

For a while there, the easiest path to a British car was to buy a Honda.

They aren’t bringing them into the country anymore (first it was due to exchange rates, then because they stopped making them). That was to my chagrin, as I adore these brutalist slabs.

Sprinkler in rock    (2006.09.10)

Heavy lift    (2006.09.09)

Try to determine on which plane each of these visible objects is located.
