Death in Aquae Sulis (Bath)

Weekend visit to Bath just gone, going through the photos I took and this is the one that sticks out.

According to my “notes” cremation was the normal funeral rite until the 3rd  century AD  when burial became popular.

The head in the photo is from a man aged approx 45 years old reconstructed from the remains seen directly below. Handsome chap!

Cut It Out Terry! Terry Richardson Video

A fresh piece of high jinx from the one and only Terry Richardson:

Cut It Out Terry! from Terry Richardson on Vimeo.

Camden Road street art

Its been a while since I saw a piece of street art that made me pull my car over to the side of the road and run across the street to capture it in photo (and even try to pull if off the wall to take it back too I should add). This piece had that effect.

Oddly its in the exact place, and seemingly by the same artist “Ace” as another poster I saw over a year ago - I captured that in another blog post –  Ace

If anyone has any info on who made this etc do get in touch and let me know.
