Quite a few houses in our neighbourhood have these paint marks on the ground around them, some kind of measurement. Its a sign for the invading aliens from the beyond the galaxy intent on coming to live in this neck of the woods. I hope they like artichokes.

Actually I think they are planning to knock the house down and replace it with some enormous dwelling with half an inch of garden round the perimeter. I wouldn't mind but a couple of them are really pretty places with a lot of character. Even houses are thrown out with the trash these days. I guess that means there will be more fodder for the wandering photographic muse....
