Interesting isn't it? It seems to colour every part of of our lives and has the capacity to induce a whole range of emotions. Even those who profess to be 'tone deaf' (and I firmly believe that hardly anyone is actually tone deaf) can enjoy listening to music and attempting to sing along in their own, tuneless way.

This - http://www.flickr.com.../ellymack/4802416530/ - is a bridge that I pass regularly. It's in a flattened industrial area waiting for regeneration and the graffiti is still there eighteen months after I took the photo, but I love the sentiment.
