Day 5: Photo(s) of the day

I was walking home from Newtown (there seems to be a theme here, it's on my way home that I start thinking 'I must take a photo today!') when I stopped to watch some people playing football in the park and noticed the plants that were starting to creep through the rusting metal bars. It made me think of someone reaching their hand through a prison cell's bars. 

I started thinking about the restrictions that humans put on themselves (myself included) and the ones others put on us. I thought about how I love the way that you can try and build a pavement over a tree trunk or a wall next to grass but nature will just be like 'Ok, I can see what you've done there but I'm going to keep growing anway'. 

One of the things I miss about university is no longer having projects to force myself to think creatively. I have decided to create my own project documenting nature's feats against the urban landscape. 

On a side note, I was walking past an electronic gate as it was closing from left to right and I had a sudden urge to sneak through before it closed Indian Jones stylee. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. I had no desire to get into the car park on the other side, I just wanted the thrill of the challenge!
