I've always rather liked the Moody Blues, but this post has absolutely nothing to do with their album of the same name...

I arrived early for my therapy session on Wednesday, so had a little time to kill. The sun had come out and I wandered into a local park.

I could see a strange concrete structure and strolled over to take a look; it turned out to be a series of skateboard ramps and as I was stood looking at it this guy on a BMX bike arrived.

Seemed to me the ramps were well suited to this kind of activity.

I guess peddling up and down the ramps would keep you pretty fit too.

Looked like quite a lot of fun though...

Until he started doing this!

Click any of the images to get a larger view if you're so inclined.

If anyone here can explain to me why the guy's panty-clad ass had to be hanging out, I'd be glad of an explanation.

Well here I be, back indoors again... and while I sneak around to read all your blogs I'll leave you with another little piece of art to look at.

It is art I tell's ya... it's black & white... and infra-red too!

Oh... you might just recognise the sky in this image too...

I'm not really here right now... in fact this blog post is nothing but a figment of my imagination... until it actually gets published that is... then it will be a figment no more and a matter of actual fact... ahhhh... ain't technology a wondrous thing?

So here I am, not here at all, sharing a few images of Newport's most famous landmark...

Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but Newport's Transporter Bridge has featured in various films and draws visitors from around the world.

Old Usky has a busy day ahead today and won't be spending much time here in Blogland. So anyway, I just wanted to wish you all a very happy Friday and I'll catch up with you all later in the day.

Mean time I'll leave you with this quiet place to rest a while...
