5. Red Bull among the brambles

Another staple of the local scene: an energy drink with wings. Often found with a nearby empty alcohol bottle or can, although solo at the moment. Light aluminium, it must flash like a kingfisher as it flies from the vehicle, catching the light. A sense of freedom and release. An F1 moment.

Red Bull can, inverted, among the brambles, Dumbleton Road, May 6, 2024. Genuinely beautiful. If left, and buried in the greenery of the verges as everything grows, it will be torn into shrapnel when the cutting season comes. Imagine falling off your bike into those razor-sharp shards; or taking your horse aside to let a lorry pass.
