Walk away from your dreams?

[squirmelia]

The little girl twirled, and then wildly bounded past the boathouse, disturbing the castle's reflection crackling on the water that I was taking photographs of. She stopped for a moment and said the words, "walk away from your dreams." When the little girl and her family ahead of her disappeared from sight, possibly towards the daffodils, my mum asked me what the girl's words were that we had heard earlier. I told her, feeling a bit sad and definitely contemplative, as we walked away from Scotney Castle.

The picture did not appear in my dreams though: Part of a tree in Eynsford that ignored barbed wire to the extent of growing over it.

>maintaining them and so on.. he said there are a couple more around,

Cool.. I wandered around some of the subways of Southampon and then tried writing a piece about the different subways, but I never finished it, and some closed down. The one closest to where I work has planets on it, that seem vaguely educational, which is weird, since it's in practically a wasteland (well, golf-courses, busy roads, and litter-strewn streams). It's not the same style as that other one though.

>on my graff-tastic adventure tour :)

Let me know if you find any good ones!

gnimmel wrote a niceentry (http://www.livejournal.com/users/gnimmel/61397.html#cutid1) on different types of graffiti in her LJ a while back. Barbelith has also had a few interesting threads on graffiti and magick (http://www.barbelith.com/topic/13102) and a little bit about stencils (http://www.barbelith.com/topic/17260).

>i guess if the weeds did come and take me up into the clouds, i'd become a giant?

I'm not sure you'd actually become a giant, but you'd get to live in the giant's castle, which would indeed be cool, until you realize you can't reach the cupboards/windows/whatever a giant might keep in his castle.

>i can't imagine much other use for a golden egg in a castle in the clouds...

Maybe the golden eggs are superior to normal eggs in egg-rolling competitions?

>perhaps a book in the library beneath the tower will let you up?

I've never been up the clocktower, so maybe finding the right book is the way. Either that or being handcuffed at exactly the right time in the adjacent police station.

I will let u know for sure :)

The bit gnimmel wrote was great, I especially loved the space invader ones!
It's amazing what you see when you open your eyes :)

It's so unfair that society represses and frowns upon these things, still they always manage to prevail, no matter what anti-art measures are taken :)

The space invader ones are indeed great!

I found an alternative map of architecture when I was in London at the weekend, and there were some supposedly good grafitti places marked on it, but unfortunately I didn't have time to see them. Maybe I will next time I'm there.
