The eye of the beholder

[shewhomust]

In the ongoing process of sorting through the photos I took during our holiday, I've just reached one from Inverkeithing. As I was taking my camera out of its case, a police van pulled in to the kerb between me and my subject. I had to step out in front of it, concentrating on not getting run over, when a very affable young man with a heavy accent and an abundance of piercings came in very close to me and pointed out that just down the road, there, was the historic church, well worth photographing. And nearby were other cultural highlights which I no longer remember.

Anyway, that's my excuse for the interesting angle of this shot.

I didn't have the heart to tell him I was taking a picture of the heavily shuttered Chinese restaurant - I liked the contrast of the boarded-up appearance and the golden characters on the dormer windows (the shadow reducing its name to 'Happy Pal' is a fortunate accident). I hope he thought it was the historic Mercat Cross (at the right of the picture) I was after.
