R is for Red

Red railings and grass at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Pavilion,  by Cybermyth13.

The combination of evening summer sun and a pavilion with red glass walls is enough to turn the black railings and green grass both red. Red was the theme of the 2010 summer pavilion by Jean Nouvel at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens, London. See this set on Flickr for pictures of the pavilion.

S is for Snow

Snow in Victoria Park , East London, Dec. 2010 - 9, by Cybermyth13.

Snow creates a special atmosphere, especially in a park. In December 2010, the snow settled not only in the ground but also in the trees. With the low light of late afternoon, it looked magical.

Z is for Zero

Look, No Planes (and no clouds) over London, by Cybermyth13.

A picture of zero planes and zero clouds over Leicester Square, London, in April 2010, as the planes were grounded over the UK by the ash cloud from a volcano in Iceland. The suggestion was that there were fewer clouds because there were no planes and so no contrails.
