The view from the central reservation. English word meaning the centre of a dual carriageway presumably because they are used by Hackney Carriages (formal name for taxis.)
Looking forward towards the lake.
It very rare to have to cross a road like this without traffic lights so be extra careful. One or two people are spending the day by the lake in order to get some piece and quiet.
More views from the second half of the wood.
Looking across to the Westbroekpark we find more people like us in search of space and some space to throw a Frisbee.
Some English influence in Holland made from natural ingredients. Known as the Weeping Willow it is found in Southern England by water and I afraid that where our knowledge of English trees ends though of course it could have been imported from some far away land
Not as bad as it looks. One way for cars but cyclists can go both ways. A everywhere else people do drive like idiots when it is hot but you can see them coming and be prepared to hop onto the path in an emergency if one looks looks as if he or she has just robbed a bank. I should point out that the management and creative staff of the site have received a British cycling education and I afraid still enjoy getting one over the car drivers.
More water
The entrance to Westbroekpark which is in a nice little leafy sqaure. You should bear in mind we are around 15 minutes walk from the sea.
Noboday seems to have found the café at Westbroek Park. It will have to be our secret.
The by now traditional beer shot - in fact almost as traditional as the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer holding a battered briefcase outside number 11 Downing Street, London SW1 on Budget Day.
Sculpture in the park How about practicing this couples look of intelligence and coolness in front of a full length mirror.
More experiments with doctored photography. The look of this lamp standard was spoilled by an ugly sign. The figure at the back gives the game away.
Ducks at Westbroek park. Unfortunately we didn bring along any bread so we couldn do a New York Central Park scene from one of those romantic comedies that are all the rage at the moment.
Pushing the envolope at for less than the cost of a first class stamp we demonstrate how one of our photos would look in an appartment featuring exposed brick walls. You can look at the picture without the frame by editing the HTML and removing the exclaimation mark from the follwoing line

Most descoveries are made by accident and we do feel we have something worth developing so if anyone in the art world wants to get in touch email our consultancy arm at:
Oh and by the way email without prejudice - we love art as much as you do.
The long and winding road ... but still no sight of the sea.
The familiar sight of the Circus Theatre telling us that we are around five minutes from the sea..
The Circus Theatre itself and currently playing is the long running adaptation of the opera Aida by Sir Tim Rice and Sir Elton John, After a long run the show will close in August so maybe it time for the two to get writing again maybe something on the trails and tribulations of Watford FC but are audiencies ready for a black comedy / tragedy ? once again your country needs you or at least someone.
A heavily manipulated image with the intention of showing off the sculpture that really shows how far we still have to go before we can call ourselves genuine artists. We selected the figures using the Bezier tool the blurred brightened and reduce the contrast of the building behind - primarily to reduce the distracting effect of the building behind will keeping it recognisable.
Don't try this at home by the way they are professional dancers.
Another use of our framing software to show off our feeble attempt at arty black and white photography.
A modern interpretation of the 60s multi-storey car park in restful green and blue.
We finish with two more famous old British names. Pathé who own this multiplex cinema were always associated with black and white newsreels and the Kings Arms is just an ordinary pub name with the Arms meaning wapen and not armen. Also more common is the Prince of Wales as historically this position was associated with merriment before settling down to one responsibilities and the Marquis of Granby. See also the Queen's Head, Kings Head, Dukes Head. Pubs are also names after beasts or birds of prey such as the Red Lion (the most common), White Horse, Eagle etc. etc.
