Shadows

 Posted by Picasa

I just liked the way the sun was casting the shadows here.

The picture was taken in the Kaye Memorial Garden at the bottom of Summerhill. Its just a small garden, and not a lot here really, except a bronze statue and a memorial to the people killed in the Summerland disaster on 2nd August 1973.

I realised I didnt know much about this place and had a little dig, it turns out that in 1950 Mr Kaye bequethed 112 acres of land and several properties to Douglas Corporation - they flogged the property to the sitting tennants for £6,800 and spent the money on this garden. Sounds like Douglas Corporation, could waste money just as well then as they can now !
