Peterj , glad you also posted a photo of a dead saguano cactus. What is it? A boot (is that the right term?). Now I remember seeing those cavities while hiking in southern Arizona. Great interpretation of this week's theme!

Looks a bit mysterious and sinister -
- but this is merely a section of the supporting framework of an underground tunnel. A very special tunnel burrowing under Trafalgar Square for the disposal of excavated spoil from the expansion of Charing Cross Underground Station in the 1970's. The tunnel curves to avoid the foundations of Nelson's Column, and you can take a stroll there, 30 metres and more beneath the crowds of tourists in the Square.

Brenda, you never cease to surprise me. An underground tunnel! I would never have guessed it. Very sharp shot -- we can easily read the engraving on the framework. Great job (as usual)! |

One more. No this isn't a creature from outer space it's the head of a parsley worm which is in fact the caterpillar stage of the black swallowtail butterfly. I found several eating my parsley today and I'll let them turn into the chrysalis stage over the next few days and they'll overwinter and hopefully turn into beautiful butterflies next spring. Tony Tony, WOW! The details are amazing! I never realized how beautiful parsley worms can be. |

Windcatcher.
I have put two images, so you can see what happens when the wind blows. It is made of steel.

Better late than never!  We were out shopping the local vegetable stands and I wandered into this empty greenhouse. Those vertical things are watering feeds from the pipes above. |

Very large display in a car-rental building, made out of chrome car bumper parts!
