In strange Northern climes

A few odd things that I found in Huddersfield.

An out-of-season window box - (the beer bottle was not my doing)

And then this lighthouse, in somebody's garden:

And, nearby, a perfect upside-down building:

I don't usually like any sort of garden ornaments - particularly those which could be described as "twee" which is most of them - but I did like the window box, it was cheerful and pleased with itself and unpretentious. I'm a bit obsessed with lighthouses (yes, I know, I know, you can stop laughing right now) I like their curious mixture of wildness and comfort (I said stop it).

And a perfect upside-down building is always good to see, especially when the sky is blue.
