Primrose Hill mist (or Vanishing London)
It rained all day last week and didn’t stop once. I walked up Primrose Hill for the ‘view’. You couldn’t even see BT Tower because of all the mist! An American family and their dog were playing on the hill.
Just three months ago all these trees were completely bare.
Happy World Pinhole Day!
For the past five years, people have been invited to take one pinhole photograph and submit it to the World Pinhole Day gallery. Pinhole cameras just use a pinhole to let light through. They have no lens and no viewfinder, no meter and no moving parts. Most people put unexposed paper at the back of a box, but you can also use film if your camera allows this. Last year saw 1800 entries to World Pinhole Day. Here’s mine (I’m number 193!), taken on a stretch of road at Westminster.

Tourists at Guildhall, London
It was a sunny day last weekend — so a bit of glare – but this huddle of tourists at Guildhall looked quite amusing. Inside, it’s quite stunning. At the bottom of the art gallery is an old Roman ampitheatre which was discovered in the late 1980s.

Aldersgate St Office Space
I pass this building each evening but this is the first time I stopped to take a photo of it. It’s currently unoccupied, but the lights remain on even though there’s nothing actually in the building. If it weren’t for the traffic, I think it would look extremely eerie.
