Just a reminder to myself to follow my rule - it's a simple one,  I know. If it attracts my eye or attention, stop and capture.

Lately my familiar stomping grounds and been traversed through too quickly or with insufficient belief in the fact that we are surrounded by small miracles.

There. Despite my own resistance to sentimentality. Small miracles.

I am not going to lie - lately life has been looking somewhat 'flat and stale' as Hamlet would have it. I took a break from desk work to walk to the shops and followed the 'flirts' (see the work of Arnold Mindell). I had to walk into a courtyard to snap something that I pass everyday but had never seen before.
And, then when turning back to come out, this image here was what i discovered. Always take the shot. It might not be the best shot but it might be a 'breadcrumb' (as in the story of Hansel and Gretel) to lead you to something else.

I like the way this image mirrors the overlay images I have been creating lately. This image is untouched.
