An original, monochrome, beige-with-red-and-black-buttons Game Boy, with a magnifying lens and light contraption attached to the front by a slightly complicated looking arm. The contraption is labeled LIGHT BOY™

Ever get the feeling you're being watched?

Big duck, you say?
A truly gigantic, bright yellow rubber duck sits next to the Kowloon Star Ferry pier in Hong Kong harbour. Hundreds (thousands?) of people have lined up along the waterfront to see it. Taken May 2013

Last night my neighbours - who randomly, occasionally, drop round with plates of food - introduced me to... chip bhajis!
A white paper plate with a large flat samosa on one side, and a mass of bhajis cooked with chips covering the rest of the plate.

Some of my neighbours are making their allegiance clear...
Two big cars parked alongside a suburban street. Both have the pre-Islamic-Revolution Iranian flag prominently displayed on their bonnets, with smaller flags attached to the side windows.

A couple of weeks ago, someone at my partner's (Hong Kong Christian) church offered me a model of the Kotel which he had got when buying a bunch of stuff from Israel. When he gave it to me today it turned out to be a lovely Chanukah menorah. May the light drive out the darkness, around the world.
A photo of a candle holder with space for 9 candles in the shape of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, with two lions cut out of the backplate and silhouettes of worshippers in front. The candle holder is sitting on a windowsill, with two white candles burning in it, one at each end, with the light of the candles reflecting off the window behind.

Oh to be a monkey just relaxing in the onsen
A monkey with a red face and grey-white fur is relaxing in a hot spring. There are rocks in the foreground and gently steaming water behind the rocks, with other monkeys in the water - the monkey in focus is leaning both hands on the rocks and has its eyes closed in a zen-like expression.

Twil's post about being jealous of people with hair was followed immediately on my timeline by a cartoon from Moose Allain with an angry person saying "Bloody baldies, combing over hair!" to another person. Moose apparently draws all of his cartoons to order, they're not prints...

Taken December 9th 2014.
A long yellow banner is spread on a city street - it has Chinese writing at the top and "WE'LL BE BACK" in English at the bottom. In the background are some skyscrapers, and between the skyscrapers and the banner are a collection of tents, the last physical remnants of Hong Kong's 2014 protest camp.

Sometimes they come in a nest!
A double row of doughnuts from Krispy Kreme in Hokkaido, Japan. Each doughnut is in the shape of a cute little bird in the middle of a nest, and there's a sign behind the display saying SHIMA ENAGA - the doughnuts are apparently matcha flavoured and cost ¥376 each.

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery.
A photo along a snow-covered bridge, taken at night under a slightly eerie greenish light. The sides of the bridge have repeated angular beams all the way along, as does the top.

Saying thank you to those who are working and helping others at Xmas, on behalf of the Jewish community #aTimeToSayThankYou
Two visitors, one in a Santa-suggestive cloak, pose with three nurses in front of a Christmas tree on a hospital ward. One of the nurses is holding a festive pack of chocolates which the visitors have delivered.
