Park Gates 1 by phil_howcroft

Park Gates 1

This might be the first in a mini series of Mobile Phone pictures of the entrances to Vernon Park, Basford, Nottingham .... hence the title Park Gates 1

Vernon Park is a municipal park, an oasis of green in an inner city urban environment.

The conversation between me and the man with the hat and bag, walking across the frame, went something like this ......


Me: ' Alright?
Man With hat and Bag: 'Alright?
Me: Good
Man With hat and Bag: Yes
Me: See You
Man With hat and Bag: Yes

We have stimulating chats in Nottingham. BTW: Man With hat and Bag was a stranger

I suppose he wondered why I was taking a picture of the park gates with my mobile phone ! Maybe he thought I was photographing the house on the left hand side of the frame which is for sale.....nice views to rear ...could be an estate agents selling line !
Great b&w

I thought about that nice house on the left too! Love your relating on the conversation- might be something we could all try!

Well I see nothing wrong in that conversation Phil. A proper greeting with a friendly sane conversation......us northerners would rather say proper words to complete strangers rather than be thought of as stuck up, don't you agree?
lovely park gates with lots of detail plus what looks like a stunning avenue of trees on the other side. Rather unusual windows in that for sale house..are they net curtains or leaded glass or iron grills!!!!

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me! Nice shot.

Nice spot for a house. Disappointed neither of you got 'duck' into your conversation.

@happypat Well spotted with the windows Pat - you'll have to go back and check for us Phil!

@judithg Well this is photo no. 1 Judith so he is definitely going back!!!

@judithg @happypat Pat Judith, I will have a look and let you know, I suspect they are metal grills......security I assume.....this is inner city, although I've seen no ASB in or around the park

Super shot Phil but I think I'm more fascinated by your conversation...

A nice location for a home. I imagine it is a good selling point.
