31st - Safety First

Cheltenham, Glos.

Finn went off to town at the weekend to get some insulating tape to mend a slightly damaged power cord on his laptop - imagine my surprise when he came home with a little packet with six different colours of tape...I always thought it was plain black, but then I recalled that that modern yellow & green scheme came in a few years ago. But now, it seems like there's insulating tape to suit every mood - I must try and keep up with modern trends :o)

Walter is right;that shadow looks like a miniature Inunnguaq. Seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inunnguaq. Ted

Never use the stuff, its far too abusive..... Oh no, thats insulting tape I'm thinking of. Great work on those shadows

Nice shadows. And you can even make a little sculpture out of them.

Now I thought this was a very clever shot with the shadow representing a pound sign - as I have seen this tape in Poundland! Excellent composition.

You now need to try and explain to him that in your era it was common to play tapes ... that will blow his mind ... very imaginative display Doug!
Mairéad31-Jan-2011 20:51
A colourful collection and great shadows.
Guest 31-Jan-2011 20:46
It's easy to remember the colours.
Red to Live, Black to Neutral and Blue to bits
Bill Miller31-Jan-2011 20:23
Very imaginative, love the shadows.
Johnny JAG31-Jan-2011 20:20
The red and black are out of date now. But they look nice.

You're gonna need a whole lot more if you're gonna insulate your loft with that stuff :o)
