Things you see when you walk down London...

The first image is of an underpass just before you reach Tower Bridge Station. Its actually a set of LED lights that have been positioned on top of people along the ceiling of a underpass that projects lights replicating fireworks. Sadly it was quite hard to capture this with my camera but I can guarantee you it was worth stopping to see. It was achieved by hundreds of little LED lights that created a seamless affect of a fireworks display.

The second image is of a building I saw on the other side of Tower Bridge station. This caught my eye as it was a building in the heart of London covered in foliage. Something you don’t usually get to see in our urban capital. It gave a great soft feel and colour against the dull greys of the building

The Thames beach

Just before you pass the OXO tower on your way towards the Tate modern in London you are hit by a surprising view and quality not often visited by people. A beach emerges at your feet along a small stretch of the Thames. Surprisingly a sandy beach yet hardly visited by people. Although it not the most glamorous of beaches it still a sandy one, something people travel many miles to reach. I must say i did find it strange being on a beach and overlooking the other side of London full of buildings. Normally you would see the open sea. The river Thames is largely surrounded by large buildings as is the nature of London yet this beach does grant a soft edge to a very urban environment.

This is quite a random image I noticed when I walked out of the Hayward Gallery. Its just a normal building but to me looks like a sort of face of a robot with eyes, mouth and hair and thought it was funny and interesting.
