Chichester; and this young guy is striding out through the high street purposefully clutching eight purple balloons.
Meanwhile un-noticed is one little girl whom you can see secured into her push chair; who is clearly looking at them in the vain hope that she might have one?
However, her mother is somewhat distracted and probably reflecting upon something which has occurred earlier in her morning?
Whilst the guy himself is obviously totally focused upon the task in hand and is on a mission. Therefore failing even to acknowledge their presence.
Now the name on the balloons and on the headers of the flyers he is holding depict the name ‘Novium’
This comes from the Roman name for the city ‘Noviomagus Reginorum’ and is coincidentally the very name of the museum here in Chichester!
It was designed by architect Keith Williams; and is a building divided up into three floors each of which contains a gallery for exhibition.
There is also a learning room and a store for their social history collection. It stands directly over the top of Chichester’s Bath House complex which are displayed in their ground floor gallery.
According to Wikipedia it house over 350,000 objects from geological and archaelogical through to social and historic artefacts and was opened on the 8th July 2012
So one would think that with so many objects and so much space available. That they might have at least given this little girl one balloon!
This must be the best spot in Chichester for watching people! Super photo – but also a bit sad.
I don’t know why I gravitate to Chi so much. But truthfully It never seems to disappoint!
Thank you very much for stopping by!
Kind regards

Thank you for your kind comments and for stopping by my blog. I very much enjoy the photographs you post here and the little stories behind each scenario.
