The cheeky bugger in the photo or its friend.

Flew into my lounge via the open door to the balcony. It had a quick look at me and turned around, also if I did not know better I would swear it flew out in reverse. Anyway it turns out that my daughter won a regional art competition today, so to celebrate I took her out for the afternoon into town. I took the camera so I could show you around a little also.

This place is superb if you have children or grandchildren as there is a playground for them every 200 yards.

Even the dog got in on the act. It started off at 22c here at noon, though cooled down throughout the afternoon. So we went with spare clothes. I started off with just a t'shirt and ending up in a coat, well it is almost winter after all. I know it is sideways though I can not be bothered to downsize it, how about accepting larger pictures stinc? cameras are heading over 50 million pixels and steemit is stuck with year 2k size pics!

All the playgrounds or most anyway, have a adult section for free workouts. With rowing, push up, leg/hip swings etc.

That's my daughters own take on how it should be used lol. We were at this time in the old Jewish part of town, they have all left now for pastures new, mainly the USA and Israel. Their houses they left behind unsold. And a lot of them are ready to fall down, though as their name is on them, until they fall it seems they stand.

Whilst passing a church (catholic) it seemed rude not to take a pic or two, and their fascination with pagan symbols never ceases to amaze me, as the pagans were supposedly replaced with all the new fangled religions. Sun gods anyone?

Hows about some virgin Mary next to a skull?

Why she has a human skull next to her reading fodder is beyond me. I guess virgins back in the day kept skulls for fun.

There is also a lot of wooden houses in this old part of town, some abandoned like this place.

I also noted a lot of the residents in this part of town were elderly and loved gardening, though most have large nasty,angry yard dogs, so it gets noisy walking around.

They are not all wooden, most are bricks and mortar.

They seem quite into solar and wind power also, the below photo is one of the school yards lighting source.

Another standard practice is recycling, even old clothes.

The only place in the entire town with surveillance cameras are the churches and their surrounds. And the football stadium for obvious reasons, as football hooliganism here is a norm. Better there than on the street I say though.

Time to make some food for the family.

I hope you found that a little interesting, sorry about the pics, though as things improve in quality, so should stinc, and I do not have hours to find software for linux, and downsize my photos for the rest of my life.

Hope you all had a superb day like we did, catch you later on tonight.

All photos taken with Nikon d5300 and a Tamron 70 - 300mm.
