This year's Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilion, Hortus Conclsus, was very different from last year's Red Pavilion below. The 2011 pavilion by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor was a enclosed space with a garden by the Dutch designer Piet Oudolf. It seemed a much quieter space that provided an escape from the bustle of the modern city.

For other pictuers of the pavilion see my 2011 pavilion set on Flickr.

Mixed summer weather in London

Sunny Southbank, London, by Cybermyth13.

It started well with sun in May. but it did not last.

There was too much rain 

and cloudy weather to be much of  a summer

End of summer

The end of the day, the start of the evening, on the Southbank, London,  by Cybermyth13.

The nights are drawing in, despite the good weather of late, and it is the end of the Street Photography Now Project with its weekly photographic challenges over 52 weeks. This photo of the front of the Royal Festival Hall was my posting for week 52. The project was to encourage photographers of all levels to have a go at Street Photography by providing a weekly theme. It has been very successful with hundreds from around the world taking part and posting a photo to the group in Flickr each week.
