Sorry I hadn't seen that one - looks, as you suggest, as if it was taken from the other end of the arcade.

It is a bit different isn't it?

Yes, but look at the link Jool gave here (my emphasis):

Well done Claire!!  Here's the same photo as Caz has, but named

Click left and right in the photostream, and you'll see lots of other photos of the same arcade, and the windows at the end are different according to which way the camera was pointing.

Sorry to keep harping on about the writing on Cazza's photo  but I'm sure I can see something.

It appears to be handwriting in black, just above the white border at the bottom on the paving of the photo, starting just past the man closest to the camera on the left and running most of the way along the photo.  I think I can see "something" E47 "something" Note04 "something"   

Or am I just cracking up    Someone please put me out of my misery

OK Jool, I can see writing but it is too small/unclear to read. I tried tinkering around with the contrast to no avail.
I wonder if Caz could do a high res scan of that area?

Jan

[Jool]

Thanks for looking Jan, hopefully Caz can do a high res scan as you suggest.

At least I now know that if I am seeing things, then so are you
