North London snow at night
Wow. I’ve just been outside and it’s an absolute winter wonderland out there! I only walked a few blocks around my flat but managed to take more than 200 photos! I may post a few more tomorrow!
Cheery people in the streets wished me a merry Christmas (one month too late, but it felt like it was the right thing to say!?).
A waiter at the Indian restaurant around the corner was in awe, saying he didn’t realise he’d see such a sight. “I heard about it on the news but I didn’t know it was happening right now,” he giggled.
“Well, I heard about it on Facebook!” I replied, and he keeled over laughing.
An old man closing up the Tapas restaurant in Belsize Park smiled and pointed to the snow being reflected by the streetlights.
Three young Europeans were posing for photographs (“London? Snow?”); I took one pic of them and they took one pic of me. Another couple who asked me about my accent took my photo in the street too, and so did a man outside a pub!
I wrote the word “Snow” on car windows – was going to advertise my website but the address is too long
A friend of mine even managed to go ‘urban snowboarding’ and posted the pics on Facebook to prove it!
There were also a few young cooks at a take away restaurant going crazy with a snowball fight!
If you want more of south London, then check out my friend Mike at Urban 75′s snow photos from earlier tonight in Brixton!
