I think one of the ones in Bath St is the creepiest I've seen.
I walked by yesterday and thought it was wax/plastic flowers but today i paid more attention.
They've got eyes!
And the sunflower's petals are fingers!
Not a very good pic as my camera's battery was dying

Mr E is not known for laughing aloud but the two of us laughed out loud big style at the plastic flowers/eyeballs combo too! And I know just what Marissa means about Regent Street - we commented on that too

. All of a sudden, everybody in that street's an 'artiste' Laughing

I took this when we were doing art apprecation

I'm calling it it "the impotent commercial retail transportation device"

Cast away, unwanted, like so much on our throwaway society. Its rigid form echoes the unbending pressure to consume, to conform. The flowing water of the burn adds a piquant counterpoint
