what the commuter saw

FEBRUARY

It rained. And rained.


3 February
The man who sweeps Trafalgar Square

I tried to embrace the grey.
I really tried.


20 February
London Eye, South Bank

I looked for light,


6 February
Odeon, Leicester Square : Tube Strike day

waited for action,


10 February
Westminster from the Jubilee Bridge

searched for quirky signs,


19 February
Great Scotland Yard
Thanks to @Silverpebble for her tweet
"The sign warns of Mr Darcys in the road"


enjoyed unexpected angles,



20 February
Nelson's Column from St. Martin in the Fields

but a camera craves light.
Even a humble phone camera.


12 February
Horse Guards, after the storm

When clouds break, just for a moment,
it is the familiar scenes
which I enjoy the most.


5 February
National Gallery, Trafalgar Square

And I fall in love all over again
with the drama and energy of London
in the early morning.


26 February
City of London from Embankment Pier
