Vincent Van Gogh said, "If you truly love nature you will see beauty everywhere".
I think that applies to both nature and civilisation. On a recent trip to Watford I saw:
1 Flowers on two stations.
2 Plants on the small front garden of a tiny terraced house.
3 A painting of a train hanging as the pub sign.
4 The weather vane on the roof of Bushey station.
From the car window I see the lovely purple flowers and the abundance of greenery. Only on inspecting the photo later do I notice the dilapidated front pillar. never mind. Somebody has put in a new front door and new windows. They are getting there. An oasis of flowers. On the way to Watford.

Flower at Hatch End station.
Flower at Hatch End station. Horrid Hatch End? No. Happy Hatch End.

I've driven down the road many times, never noticed the advertising sign on the house. Watford. Wonders of Watford.
I've driven past the Railway Arms many times, never notices the little puffer train on the inn sign.
I've driven past Bushey station many times. Never noticed the little train on top of the weather vane on top of the clock. Boring Bushey? Bored in Bushey? No. Beautiful Bushey.
