Totally Abstract

A new abstract photography section added to my photo gallery.

Yesterday I witnessed yet another abstract event near the local psychiatric hospital. The patients do seem to have some fun. I was driving along yesterday and a man got shot, no not literally, just looked like he did. One moment he was walking the next he’d thrown himself onto a grass verge. I was passing at the time so I went to the place to turn to see if he was alright. While I was turning a Police car screeched round the corner and shot off in his direction. I saw the police car arrive and it was most amusing.

The bloke was led in the verge spread eagled pretending to be dead, when he saw it was a policeman it was like they’d given him and electric shock, he shot bolt upright jumped up and started to run off.

This is the second event I’ve seen in the past year. The other was equally bizarre, it was December and I was walking back from the leisure centre when I spotted 3 police man and a man on the side of the canal. The man was dressed in only his underpants and was threatening at the top of his voice that if the police came any closer he would jump. The police were backing off, not that diving into the canal was likely to kill him as it is about 3 foot deep, I just didn’t think they fancied going in to get him out.

    In my neghborhood is a hospital, an psych-clinic and about a dozen halfway houses of who knows what purpose. I have not seen anything as good as you, but on sunny days I have seen a line of psych patients (in robes and slippers) marched to the mart, and then marched back to the center, all carying big-gulps and candy.

    No idea why but this picture gave me the willies. I literally shuddered!

    I love it when a nutter gets loose and spends their freedom wreaking havoc, dressing up as a hedge and vocalising random declarations at innocent passers by. Great to see that Care in the Community really is such a spankingly-good success…..

    I was, of course, referring to the mentalist and not to the Robster….
