The word for Friday 05.03.2010 is PYRAMID

Today's word is pyramid and when l read that, l thought, how on earth am l going to be able to achieve this challenge? I can think of one big pyramid up in a graveyard in Edinburgh...small problem, l am in London. I do or rather had, a blue, hand-blown glass shaped pyramid but smashed it the other day..bother. Ok... is there any way to represent this word with-out it actually be a pyramid shape? Think..what does the word actually mean..go and read dictionary definition. PAUSE!..............................
O.K can be apyramid organisation but not much help there. So off to see what l can find but not holding out much luck.
Sorry have not blogged for last few days but up in Rutland. Full story on my other photography blog......

We stopped to have lunch in Melton Mowbray, the home of the pork pie and very dissapointed we were too. It is meant to be Foody Heaven but we found it to be a very down at heel looking place, maybe on Market Days it is different but today..boring! We walked around and l was surprised to see so many people smoking, as in Putney l hardly ever see more than one or two people walking around smoking and sometimes at the bus stops. Here in this town, l saw many people smoking while walking and also in groups  but because of their habit, l had my image for the day!

I took another image, which showed the whole of the pyramid but l think this is a better image, even though it shows less. As you can see from the amount of butts stuffed into the holes, a lot of smokers in this town and also, I had never seen this shape before. There were many of these bins placed around the town, which is good, otherwise they would be littering the place and making it even more of an unsightly looking place than l feel it is already.  Sorry Melton Mowbray!
