Whenever and wherever I go out cycling, be it in England or Australia, I always seem to come across things dangling from trees and shrubs. You might assume I refer to wildlife (considering all the wildlife shots on my blog recently) – perhaps athletic squirrels in Devon and basking tree snakes in Brisbane; but no, surprisingly, more often than not the things are items of underwear. I do not usually write about them, or take photo’s, but yesterday the danglers were so incongruous, and obvious, in the beautiful setting of a nearby disused quarry that I could not resist capturing the odd sight on camera.

If you look closely you will notice that the net is made from a wire coat hanger and a pair of ladies tights. How resourceful! If only the naked fisherman’s girlfriend had been wearing fishnet- tights.
