Bollard of love

Came across this impromptu decoration in Cardiff last May and it seemed timely to share this photo today.

It took me a few seconds to figure out what was happening here. What creativity,  ingenuity and perception it must have taken to create this violin using a continuous piece of metal torn from that old Hoover. Spotted at National Museum Cardiff back in May.

Cardiff, Wales, U.K.

Looking up, an opulent chandelier hangs from the high ceiling inside the summer smoking room at the top of Cardiff Castle’s clock tower. Along the walls closer to floor level, of which a small portion is visible in this image, the story of the mythical gods in the 12 zodiac signs is depicted in paintings and sculptures.

One of the many arcades (covered lanes, essentially) in the centre of Cardiff, Wales. Spotted on my recent visit to the Welsh capital city.
