Hellfish

So I went out this afternoon with my camera, hoping to notice something peculiar or magical on the street for the noticing game.  A quirky sight or two caught my attention, but, in each case, either it wasn't interesting enough or I found myself too embarrassed to get my camera out.  Then it got dark, so I gave up, and just plodded off towards City Uni for my evening class.

And then ... I saw this:














I leaned over a railing and there it was, propped outside someone's front door as if waiting for garbage day.  There was a brick post to my right, so I couldn't get further over to get the whole word in the picture, even if I'd wanted to. And I wonder - these creatures must be what before consumption?  Cleaned?  Killed?  Registered?  Reported to the police? Sauteed in garlic?

What an exciting start. I'm addicted!

Love it! And Canterbury, is it by the sea or is it just the See. I'd favour garlic - it'll kill anything. And, how did it get there? There must be a story in that.
