Carnaby Street

Trust Carnaby Street to have a non-Christmassy theme for its Christmas lights. This year the theme is Carnival, as in South American jungle with Coconut trees and parrots.



Previous years have been:

Outer Space




The Rolling Stones and Rock and Roll

This was my first post on Flickr in August 2009, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes playing in Victoria Park, East London, on day of the launch of their first album in the UK.

Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilion 2014

There is a new summer pavilion outside the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens designed by Chilean architect Smiljan Radic . The pavilion is a torus or ring shape supposedly resting on stone supports, although it is actually metal supports encased in large stones which are used to give it stability. There are also stones to sit on below the pavilion. The vent in the front gives a glimpse of the inside of the pavilion. It is open to the public from 26 June to 19 October 2014.

So you are on your way to work and you see a face looking down the road at you. First I thought it was a large mural on the side of a house but then I realised it was on the side of a van. It is called "Tokyo Rain" and is by graffiti artist Dan Kitchener (DanK).

  

Graffiti need not be ugly

On the back of the van is Airborne Mark and his paper planes:
