Notes: This evening I went to London to a lovely surprise birthday party, for a good friend of the family, at the Athenaeum Club in Piccadilly. I was too busy enjoying the do to take many pictures inside! But on the way home, I stopped near Piccadilly Circus to make a few pictures of the bright lights and wet streets.
Notes: I walked from Hammersmith to Fulham this evening to get my iPhone repaired at iFixPhone. They offer a great while-you-wait service. On the way I noticed a spectacular sunset playing itself out to the west, and made this quick image as a jet passed by overhead, on its way to Heathrow.
Notes: It’s amazing how many new things you see when you vary your routine – today I took the Hammersmith & City Line from Liverpool Street to White City instead of using the Central Line as I do normally. I was rather tempted to slide down these smoothly inviting handrails on the way out, but cowardice go the better of me!
Notes: I spent a very enjoyable morning in London with a couple of friends giving some photo coaching and doing a practical shoot near the British Museum. We also had a tasty lunch nearby and then said our goodbyes. They seemed to get a lot out of it and went away buzzing with enthusiasm, which was a great feeling. The afternoon light was too good to waste so I decided to take a walk back from Holborn towards Liverpool Street, finding some geocaches on the way. I passed this arresting mural in High Holborn and couldn’t resist waiting for a passer-by to walk into the frame.
Notes: There’s an aquatics centre on Great Portland Street, which I pass on my way to the tube each evening. Someone inside has a great sense of humour – this sign is regularly seen gracing the pavement outside. It makes me laugh way more than it probably should. I thought the double entendre would make a great shot for Treasure Hunt Theme #40 – Oops!
Notes: Having passed this wonderfully crusty London Underground roundel nearly every day for the past three months, today I thought it was time to stop and take a picture. It’s perfect for Treasure Hunt Theme #14 – Underground.
