Cobbles at the Mayflower Steps, The Barbican, Plymouth.

A little known fact is that the Barbican in Plymouth is now the largest single expanse of cobbled paving in the United Kingdom. Here's a photo looking towards the Admiral McBride Pub with the Mayflower Steps centre-left. The actual departure point for that famous vesel is thought to be beneath the pub, the commemorative steps only date from 1934. Once again there is some flare but that is to be expected with a lens of this type when shooting into the sun.

Ned and the Giant Prawn

Is it a cod? Is it a prawn? One thing's for certain you won't find one anywhere else. This piece of street-furniture surmounts a five metre tall cocktail stick between the National Marine Aquarium and the Mayflower Steps in Plymouth, Devon UK. It is usually referred to as the Plymouth Prawn or Barbican Prawn but I have been unable to ascertain its correct title.  I will investigate further next time I am on the Barbican. The second photo is a crop of the first taken with my new toy.
