Distorting Mirror

I am a distorting mirror
Twisted by constant use.
I am invisible,
You don't see the dried husk
Of mummified ambition
That stares at me.
The mirror has cracked but
The image remains,
As the edges tarnish.

Empty these days but still full of gas.

People can be racist.
Institutions can be racist.

Can buildings be racist?

View along the stream to the waterfall and pond.

To the crown green.

The Permissive Path

Running between the centre of Stoke to Hanford parrellel to the A500 Queensway, and Campbell Road, on the bank of the River Trent, there is an oasis of greenery to rival riverbanks in less industrial areas of the country.
See if you agree.

Any thing is possible on the 'Permissive' path.

The River Trent, looking toward Stoke town centre.

Here the Trent flows towards Hanford

That Stoke on Trent 'Duck' again with chicks.

Wrong turns at the bottom of the Sideway slip road could result in a soaking.

Cyclists

and dog walkers

and their jogging friends are encouraged

to enjoy

all the flowers.
