The Holly Man braved the wind and rain to celebrate Twelfth Night in front of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre today. 

  

Watching the buskers in Covent Garden–Unicycle Juggler was a hit, but the Christmas Tree stole the spotlight.

  The 2015 Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square is lit and ready to ring in the New Year. What a fabulous tradition. So glad to be a part of it. 

  
Took a stroll down Oxford Street to see the holiday lights. The moon surprised us with an appearance, pretending to be a bauble.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a pic. Mainly because life gets busy, but perhaps it’s the weather. Indian summer, rainy sunny cloudy days. They confuse the natural human rhythms. But then you come across something like this in east London and the pic must be posted!

Where do we go when it’s all over–this grand play we call life? All good things come to an end, that’s what they say, but what if it isn’t good, what happens then? Is there peace for the downtrodden? A place to rest their weary heads? If life is a tragedy, what is death? Can it be a happy ending? So many questions, so little answers. Time is the word I’m missing. In this place, it is neverending.

  
Like a mountain the buildings in NYC rear up from the Hudson’s shores stretching toward the clouds.
