My morning walk to collect a newspaper covers a distance of about two miles each way. As it was a sunny morning with the hard frost beginning to clear I took my camera, intent on getting shots to meet Carmi's theme of "Letters, numbers & other characters." I came back with 38 pictures, all of which seemed appropriate; obviously I can't show them all.
The local Shell garage is undergoing a refit and there was an environmental services wagon parked across the forecourt. I had to take this picture through a wire mesh fence.

Today was the day that household waste is collected and just down the road were three wheelie bins awaiting the refuse truck.

| Wheelie Bins (Trash Cans) |
The amount of roadside rubbish to be seen on the footpath, in the hedge bottoms and in a birch wood was appalling - discarded sandwich wrappings, coffee cups and soft drinks cans, enough to fill another wheelie bin I'm sure.

| Discarded Energy Drink Can |
Whoever left this obviously hadn't enough energy to carry the empty can home.
The garage in our village does its bit to help the energy crisis as you can see.

I've often glanced at the numbers of the lampposts in the village and just assumed that these were just for identifying individual posts. Then I found this.

| Power Line Post |
That plate at the top has hole-punched code which is alpha-numeric presumable for inspection and maintenance purposes.
If my pictures are driving you 'up the pole' just be careful which one you climb.

Now what am I to do with 32 more photos? While I make up my mind perhaps you should head off to
Carmi's Thematic-photographic-235. Please don't drop litter on the way or else you may become a member of the "Litterati".
