Dog turdy, I thought. But interesting.
Yep, think the lights look as though they've landed from an entirely different planning idea..
I'm hoping for some grass at some point.

Hang around outside KFC long enough and you'll get plenty of offers.

It literally makes me cringe each time any variant of this tired old joke is repeated.
I was at the comedy night at the Bedford in Balham a few weeks ago and there was a truly terrible chap on, who claimed to live in Brixton, and made jokes about the weed dealers to a true tumbleweed response. Unfortunately the audience were too polite to throw bottles at the stage.

There's a recession on, they didn't want to waste their beer.
Oh hang, The Bedford in Balham you say?

They look like mobile phone masts, so I hope they put some transmitters in there.Windrushes

You don't say.

Which ones? The ones with the square-cut tops to them, or the tall thin ones?

Maybe you need some new glasses.
The tall thin ones.

The library looks really lovely in the background. All lit up and welcoming against that grey sky
Just looked at the planning application...
"The four trees to the north and east of the Tate Gardens will be
removed but the large London Plane will remain as a feature of the
Square. All 16 trees in Windrush Common will be removed.
However, new tree planting will include 14 Fastigiate Oak trees to
be planted along the southern border and seven London Plane
trees will be planted along the eastern border alongside the
proposed bus stop. The realignment of the tree planting will allow
for community events to take place at the Square and ensure that
the Square has a diversity of use that will support its use as a safe
open public space. The new trees have a life expectancy of over
150 years. None of the trees which will be removed are subject of
a TPO as the Square is owned by the Council."
So they are oaks, and will be there for the next 150 years. Nice.

Tis true = see council press release - http://www.24dash.com/news/Local_Go...ter-sees-how-Brixton-is-beating-the-recession
I have started a new thread on this as I think it worthy of wider reflection!

I didn't know you could get oaks that shape. I had wondered if they were cypresses. I see that the Fastigiate Oak is also called the "Cypress Oak"

Knowing our luck, all the trees selected for Brixton will fail to retain their elegant columnar form and will - as that link suggests - "develop considerable tummies"
Ha! Tellytubby trees! Could be interesting either way, I suppose. I quite like the randomness of it..
Thanks for that plant site link Teuchter.

Mobile phone masks are often disguised as other objects, such as lamp posts, trees, metal railings, chimneys etc. If you keep your eyes open you can spot them. It's quite possible there's one on your street/near you house you havent noticed.
