Carrying The Torch

A balmy afternoon

A wilting 99 flake

A minor triumph

Lost. Camera.

"What's upsetting is losing

All the pictures & movies

On the memory card"

High Rise Voyeur

Closing Time

Out Of The Blue

Full Spectrum

I have grapheme-colour synaesthesia 

So this artwork messed with my head

We Have The Power

And with one swift cut

All of the lights in the city

Went out

In Bloom

Spring has sprung.

This might not look like a traditional Art Of The City post

but that is a skyscraper in the distance.

Fully Furnished

It ain't exactly Ikea, but I like their style.

My Alaskan Year

Last year, I lived opposite this gorgeous 1930s art deco building, simply named Alaska.

It's only now that I've realised how often I had pointed my camera at it...

Given To Fly

You look away for one second...
