Time for another Sunday photowalk. This week I went to Chelsea in West London. Chelsea has the reputation of being a wealthy area. I was expecting rich ladies in 4×4 cars (known as Chelsea tractors), plastic surgery, Lamborghini’s with Qatar plates etc.
But, it was more like churches, cute houses, old buildings and classic cars.
Last year Tate Modern; a contemporary art gallery on London’s Southbank, expanded by building a new wing called the Switch House.
One of my favourite things about Tate Modern is the building. It’s a former power station. I think that re-purposing industrial spaces provides a beautiful environment art while also preserving Engineering history.
Happy Christmas to everyone here on WordPress and any others that have found their way to my blog.
Today I want to share a handful of pictures from my Christmas Day photowalk around London. Without further ado:
Five days left until Christmas, I think it might be time to inject a little festive cheer into my blog.
Last year I spent Christmas in London, I had a fantastic time taking photos and enjoying the quieter than normal city. A lot of people leave; presumably to visit family or take the opportunity for a short break. This coupled with the beautiful lights make it a magical place to be.
Another spontaneous trip. I was having a coffee in Hong Kong and suddently felt like going to China. It’s quite easy to get the China visa in Hong Kong, plenty of agencies will handle the whole process for a reasonable fee.
On my last trip I went to Yangshuo in Guilin to do some Tai Chi and Qi Gong. I also visited Shanghai.
I survived Christmas alone in London.
Actually; and I feel guilty saying this, it was delightful.
I missed my mum; it is a time when everyone is talking about family. However thanks to yoga, meditation, reading and learning I was able to keep a reasonable perspective. It’s just another day, I saw my mum recently, and I will see her again soon. The other matter; a girlfriend, hopefully I will meet someone I match with soon.

river and square, famous by
name, a must see sight
announcing the hour,
and posing for photographs,
have you heard of Ben?
