This week’s theme for Monochrome Madness is Street Lamps. Chosen by Brian @ BushBoy’s World.
I looked through my archives and found a few, they make lovely shots, especially when transformed into monotone. The old wrought iron and lacework make the best photos. Obviously, lighting has changed over the years to be more practical. Still, a street looks so much more interesting when there are old-fashioned lamp posts.
I couldn’t resist leaving a touch of the yellow lichen on the roof.
Taken on a walk around London, I happened to glance down an alley way and saw this pub. Apparently the tallest pub in London and there has been an inn on this site since 1142. It is now a Grade II listed building. Charles Dickens mentioned it several times in The Pickwick Papers.
The above needs no introduction. Being named after one of Charles II’s mistresses. Possibly, the most famous one of all.
