On my way to the local shops this afternoon I saw this heavily-loaded branch of pink flowers escaping through a gap in a high garden gate 🙂

Landscapes of Home
‘I think the kind of landscape that you grew up in, it lives with you. I don’t think it’s true of people who’ve grown up in cities so much; you may love a building, but I don’t think that you can love it in the way that you love a tree or a river or the colour of the earth; it’s a different kind of love.’ – Arundhati Roy

Urban Transport
Nancy’s Photo a Week Challenge this week has the theme of ‘urban’ – and for me, London’s Underground trains are as urban as you get. Luckily for me I found myself travelling out of town aganst the rush-hour traffic last Thursday morning, flowing outwards towards freedom instead of funneling myself with fathomless futility into the crushing confines of the train carriage. Anyway, to my surprise and delight I managed to capture some reasonably clear-of-commuters-playing-sardines shots on my smartphone, from both outside and inside of a tube train 🙂
London Bridge Station Doors
Not-so-pretty doors in the underbelly of a grimy railway bridge at London Bridge Station for this week’s Thursday Doors 🙂
Majestic Wines Car Park, Wanstead
How do you avoid the humdrum monotony of looking out onto a grey tarmaced empty space wrapped in boring brick walls? You paint it with great street art! These ‘Majestic’ examples are from the back walls of the car park behind the Majestic Wines retail store in Wanstead, East London 🙂
