It snowed tonight for five seconds and left us with an amazing sunset.

I’m dreaming of snow. It’s been too long since London enjoyed views like this. I photographed this dapper chap in 2012. Hope he’ll be back some time soon.

Tourists in London

People whirl in a time lapsed blur

Below gilded spires and ancient brick

Along the banks of the blackened Thames

Faces framed in photographic light

A thousand selfies shine in the ether

But none as bright as the white moon

A pinhole pierced through the evening blue

This sunset illuminated my open window.

I’m going to the Man Booker at Birkbeck with Hilary Mantel on Monday and happened to come across this amazing painting in the British Library. Serendipity!

A sunny day in my favorite London square. Even had a chance to visit a few pictures in the National Gallery. (Link: Redon’s Ophelia among the Flowers)

I love this city Londontown
A welcome surprise on nights
When rushing home is expected
But hanging back for one moment
A pause, reveals such beauty
