Through the looking glass

I stopped to photograph Cardigan bike shop's bizarre display of a machine formed from artificial plants, and in doing so captured not only myself but also the houses across the street. The pink one, now a hotel, see it better here, was once the prison governor's house when this was the site of the town jail built by the celebrated architect John Nash in the 1790s.

You might think it was raining but the droplets were purely window dressing.
Curiouser and curiouser!
