This one was taken in the main square in St Petersburg, where everyone was celebrating some sort of Police Day - the people are looking at the stage where a boyband of four policemen in uniforms were singing. Very odd.
These chaps in blue are fans of the local St Petersburg football team who'd played a big game that day, and had ended up in the square. One of my favourite 27 pics ever!

Gate number 27 at Toronto airport. We actually went to the wrong terminal by mistake at first, so it was a nice bonus when we got to the correct one that we were dropped off by a number 27. I'd been looking around Toronto for a few days without finding a number 27 to photograph - so this turned up at just the right time.

Yes, we've reached the magic number 27 in my series of 27 pictures - and it's the first one to be taken by someone else and emailed to me.

I was in Boston last weekend and stopped at several historical sites. In the Granary Buriel Ground, which dates back to the mid 1600's, several historical people are buried (including Paul Revere and John Hancock, important figures in the revolutionary war). The grave markers are pretty amazing, and as you will see on the photo, one woman's death occured on December 27th, 1778! The date on the marker caught my eye and I immediately thought of your site.
Thanks KJ!

This is Colnel Rayburn, the number 27 horse in today's big Grand National race. Obviously I bet on it, but sadly it didn't manage to win - though it did keep right in there until the end of the race.
Apparently Colonel Rayburn was a US Colonel who won a point-to-point race in his 70s. The horse was named after him, but whoever filled in the form spelt Colonel wrongly!
STOP PRESS: You'll never guess at what number fence (out of 28 in the Grand National) that my number 27 horse fell. Yes, the 27th!

This is a fire hose reel that I spotted the other day at Heathrow airport, when I touched back down from Hamburg. I had to jump off one of those moving walkways (travellator?) and walk back against the flood of people in order to take it.
Feel free to comment (yeah, I know there's not really much to say about a picture with the number 27 on it, but it can get lonely in here on my own!)

This was the moment last weekend that my 27 Blog got its 27th visitor - which seemed to be to be quite a momentous occasion (I was fortunate enough to be looking at the site meter at that point!).
We're now up to around 80 visitors. Thanks for coming, hope you like it. Plenty more 27 pics to come - so tell all your friends and their friends and maybe tell some strangers too.

Hey up folks
This one I took today, on a walk up towards Highgate Woods in north London. I like the wooden gate. And, indeed, the hedge behind it.
Thanks to KJ for being the first person to comment on my new 27 Blog. Glad you like it!
And, of course, if anyone spots anything with the number 27 on it wherever you are - take a picture, email it to me (click on 'email me' by the links) and I'll stick it up on the internet's home for the number 27.

Hello again!
This is a chap in Virgin Megastore in Time Square, New York City checking out listening post 27. I'm not exactly sure what'son post 27, but post 26 is the rather marvellous Franz Ferdinand, a British band who were just starting to take the US by storm at this point.
I like the way the bloke looks so relaxed - looks like he might stay and check out the whole album!

This is at the Athens 2004 Olympics - Autralia vs Argentina at the Karaiskaki stadium in Athens. The game finished 0-0. Argentina should've won, had all the chances, but Australia missed a glorious chance to snatch it late on.
Argentina went on to win the gold medal.
