thought for the day.....please don't forget your valuable.....
The tremedously talented docophoto just posted a splendid shot with a little tiny cameo of herself in a mirror in the background of the photo and it just looked so good….. and it put me in mind of a shot I had taken some time ago in the ladies loo at Circular Quay in Sydney…
so what ever else you do today everybody….please don’t forget your valuable…....:)

What the hell are you doing in a toilet with the camera anyway?
Juilee Pryor replied
thanks Lawford….. yes grammar and spelling in correct English….might be a bit beyound Syndey Council….. but I find the errors delicious to be honest…. and what was I doing in the toilet with a camera….. it was in my bag as I was having a day out shooting at the Quay….. when I came out of the loo…. I looked up and saw the sign and just couldn’t resist it…...:)

Inishiata
Didn’t know Sydney Rail or council were so concerned with everyone’s state of mind – no one should ever forget they are valuable – now what other ones can we come up with- maybe then we will live in a more caring city when everyone knows they, and everyone else are valuable.
Juilee Pryor replied
hi INishiata…. thanks for having a look…. yes I love the twist to this shot…....glad you like it
Samantha Van S...

Peter Hill
Not having been there myself, I’m willing to accept the ladies loo at circular quay is a landmark. just. :) But my co-host? mmm.
Juilee Pryor replied
ok ok busted….. I can cope….. I just love that sign though… .and its one of the great unheralded landmark signwriting errors of the city…... :)
Peter Hill
Absolutely! And I also like the sign to the left of it. I mean, I know you ladies have a LOT of stuff in your bags, but really …......:) Oh yeh, saw your blue moon in june – was that tonight? saw the moon behind the neighbour’s tree tonight and got this before I saw yours (borrowed your title though!):
Peter Hill

Juilee Pryor replied
hey thanks I think….. but maybe a camera is just a modern day sort of side arm… you know always be loaded and ready to shoot…... what’s more dangerous in the end…. the camera or the gun?........ a very 20th C question…... glad you like this chance shot…....:
H M Bascom
