This was the first thing I saw in Cambridge last Sunday - a busker in a rubbish bin. I wonder if it stinks in there ? The weather was decent and the city crowded !
I loved this row of bikes that seemed to go on forever. Makes you wonder how many are nicked each year.
These people were taking tea and coffee at Auntie's Tea shop - and getting a tan. Just kidding about the tan part. Is this not the most adorable dress ? This little market stand always has such wonderful, kitsch clothes.
This is Kings College - just playing a bit with the photo here. The reality photo is below.
There are several of these carvings on this building. In a former life, it was a bank. Today, it's part of Corpus Christi College. The city of Cambridge just dedicated this £1 million dollar clock. It's not your ordinary clock. It features this creepy, sci-fi grasshopper, which looks like something I use to see in my nightmares as a child. The insect moves mechanically, crawling and turning the clock dial which lights up the time in blue lights. As you can see - it was approximately 2:25 p.m. when I took the picture. I do believe the famous Physicist Stephan Hawkins dedicated the Corpus Clock at the official unveiling ceremony. It's a spectacular and bizarre design.
I peeked through a fence and saw this lovely courtyard - looks even better in sepia.
I even ran into a very inebriated Johnny Depp imposter. Believe me, If that had really been Johnny Depp, I would have pulled a Borat: put a cloth bag over his head, slung him over my shoulder and taken him back to my place. Captain Jack, was in a big hurry to get back to his ship to swill some rum - so I had to quickly snap his photo with the car in the background. I hate that.
To see a great clip of the Corpus Clock and a narration by the inventor - look on YouTube of course !
