Devizes Castle and a white van, St John's Street, Devizes

I was standing gazing at the beautiful interaction between the delicate wrought-iron gate posts with their carefully-worded messages, the mock-gothic Victorian castle and the restrained architecture of what could be a telephone exchange yet feeling that somehow something was missing, and that the photo was just a little too symmetrical to make the perfect image. At this point a white van man appeared, parked his Renault Trafic and disappeared behind me with a cheery 'good morning'. At this point I knew I had a sure-fire candidate for a 'Photo of the Day', a PoTY, or even, if I took care not to offend anyone, a 'stellar description'. If any of these predictions come to pass I will abstain from my daily McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese for at least a day.
