I have no idea what this says, but it looks pretty cool.

‘Wholesale Boots Shoes Rubbers’ adorns the wall of an historic downtown London building constructed in the 1890s. It first housed a corset factory and later in the 1940s and 50s it was home to a warehouse for The London Shoe Company. Here is a colour version I posted in January 2010. Just click on the image to see it larger with no border.

I was attracted to this metal detail on an old building in London because of the layers and the nice shades of orange.

Feeding Baby

A parent bird feeds its little one in a busy location in downtown London. As it is a popular lunch spot for workers, lots of crumbs get left behind.

Back Alley Blues

While downtown the other day, I thought to find again some graffiti I photographed a while ago which had an inspiring quote. It seems that it has been completely removed so I will have to dig out and post the image I have. It appears that London has done a remove and paint over campaign on much of the back alley graffiti. This colourful piece of a remaining wall caught my eye with the sun streaming across it on a diagonal.

Willow in the Wind

The branches of a spring green willow fly in the wind. Tilting the camera slightly gives it even more of a wind blown look. I took this yesterday while walking in a downtown park where the Thames River is lined with majestic old willows.
