Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
.
Beacon has a long and very pleasant main street with stores, galleries, restaurants, a book store, at least one cultural centre etc. This shot was taken about half way down looking vaguely South East with Mount Beacon in the background.

Lots of “miscellaneous objects and ornaments of little value”. Among them this rather spectacular duck-faced umbrella caught my attention.

I have no idea what this is for. I’m just attracted to old metal objects, particularly if they have flaking paint and rust. I suppose it could be used as a wine rack?

I wonder if people actually buy things like this. I imagine so or I guess the vendors wouldn’t display them. I collect old cameras and I suppose that there are people who collect old bottles. See for example: Antique Bottle Collector Resource Guide.
I note, however, that a “OLD RARE FULL PEPSI COLA BOTTLING ERROR BOTTLE WITH Coca cola Cap” is presently listed on ebay for $US10,000 (Buy it Now).

In the previous post (See: A Day in Beacon – Flea Market. An old doll) I mentioned that I find old dolls to be “spooky”. Not in this case though – possibly because they don’t look human enough.
And I’m not sure that they’re all (or indeed any of them) barbies. I don’t know enough about dolls to be able to say.
