So that was Summer !

Outside the Southbank Centre, London

So that was summer 2012 - the Olympics were great, Wiggins won the Tour de France, Murray won the US Open but it was cloudy most of the time and rained too much.

Autumn on the Nower, Dorking, Surrey

Autumn sunshine on the Nower in Dorking, Surrey.

It is a pity that the summer was not like this.

Lost balloons of Hackney

A family of balloons, 2 white and 2 orange, had made a bid for freedom but were stuck in a tall tree in Hackney. The tree was clearly too tall for anybody to retrieve the balloons which had managed to wrap themselves around the high branches.

The Planes Return

The airplanes return to the skies in London.

Look, No Planes (and no clouds) !

A view of the London sky over Leicester Square on a day when there were no clouds and no planes.

Sunset over Hackney

A winter sunset over Hackney. The white streak in the sky is the trail from a plane, not a shooting star.
