I wanted to have something for 15 Squaretops too β so look out for a topsy-turvy image at the bottom of the post. Here are two riverside skyscrapers: quite similar. Palm trees. Back in London, Greenwich actually, the standing figures echo the massed skyscrapers of modern 21st century London. And I liked this shot from Warsaw.
Finally, an image square of course taken on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal near Gargrave. Topsy turvy? Look out of that window. Who wants to go out unless they have to? I decided to go with the built environment. Except in one case, where reflection and baffling the eye was definitely the main story.
Which one was that do you think? This challenge was provided by Jude, of Travel Words. Here we are in London on the first leg of our journey to South Korea. But really, why bother? Look what I found being given away at Charing Cross Station this morning.
Free Korean newspapers. The adverts in them reveal that all Korean life is here in London. Here I am, still slaving away at Blogging , the University of Blogging. I even played hooky the day before yesterday, and the day before that. However, here I am again, back in the University Libary aka our study. Today we have to write a post. I discovered Katherine Price. She can write in a way that takes me to her world, her street, her little stretch of the Thames and help me to savour with her the local trees and the daily rhythms of the birds, whether a clamour of rooks, or a solitary kingfisher streaking past.
The first post I read was a bit of a hymn to staying put and not moving on, a hymn to her home in suburbia. And it got me thinking about where I live now, and where I used to live⦠and the time before that⦠and the time before that. It reminded me of a post I wrote almost 5 years ago , and I thought it was maybe time to revisit it and re-work it. Then we went to France and I started a blog.
