The aforementioned bandstand
I thought I'd use some photos I took of the aforementioned bandstand as a test of this newfangled Blogger Images system (you know, the one that broke everyone's blogs when they rolled it out).
The Pantiles is an odd sort of place - a genuinely old shopping street which is being well preserved, largely by keeping it an odd sort of secret - I mean, it's there, but kind of forgotten about until lazy warm weekends, where it is regularly used by petanque players, sunday afternoon art displays, those visiting european markets, that sort of thing.
Somehow, for me, a bandstand is meant to have a motley bunch of old folk playing wind instruments, surrounded by people half paying attention and half picnicking, and not beat poets and samba bands, so here it is in all its old fogey glory.
(Update: for those who care: Nikon F80, Ilford XP2, scanned with a Minolta SE 5400)

Text & images don't wrap all that pleasantly in netnewswirelite, but hey. Nice XP2.
