in the jungle, the urban jungle….

27.07.10 in the jungle, the urban jungle….

some people certainly have interesting ideas on adornments for house and garden.

i particularly love how the tiger stands guard over the fallen wilderbeast, snarling at the lion circling the prey.  i can almost hear them roaring now…

the coloured woodchips and central stand of vegetation faithfully recreate the flora, fauna and colours of the african deserts and savannahs.

you can’t buy this stuff for sure. it had to have been created. art i tell you, backyard art.

it has got to be said that, unless you are a wog, and an old wog, you have no chance ever of creating a masterpiece such as this.

suburban clutter and blue skies

02.06.101 suburban clutter and blue skies

so much going on here – signs, poles, wires.

all this on a quiet side street – as opposed to clutter on a main road.

inside deepest suburbia

29.7.09 inside deepest suburbia

this was taken somewhere in Liverpool/Moorebank.

looks peaceful enough, but according to some of the locals this place turns into something out of the Thriller video at night. packs of kids roam the streets at night, tagging up, smashing up and setting fire to things all over the place. When dusk falls, the neighbours start to worry.

check out the urban equivalent of bad town planning and social meltdown here.

i know this may be an exaggeration, but i imagine that rather than Thriller, it is more likely to be like Come to daddy, see below:

glad i don’t live around here.
