Modern bolts have been used to ensure this street sign stays anchored to the wall. Of course this kind of unsympathetic maintenance can be undone and something more in keeping provided, but it may take many years for that to be realised. We are living through an age of indifference to our surroundings as we retreat increasingly behind tech screens. The squalor in this town is an eyesore. Polebarn Road derives its name from the local pronunciation of 'Paul'. The road once led to Paul's barn. Canon EOS 30D + Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. Aperture-priority set to f/8. ISO 400. 1/640th, Lens at 35mm equivalent to a field of view of 56mm in full frame.

I photographed this vandalised telephone kiosk on Sunday, 7th September, 2014, in a part of Bradford on Avon called Mount Pleasant. For reasons I do not remember I had the camera set in shutter priority with a set speed of 1/30th second. The lens was a Nikkor AF 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 at 48mm. This lens has no VR and so I must have been using too low a shutter speed just to live dangerously. Or maybe I had simply overlooked the setting as usual - whatever the reason it resulted in an aperture of f/13.
