I love looking up at the sky through trees and dreaming. This is a London Plane tree in a Hammersmith park, there are some Willows in the distance. Autumn is clearly here and a view like this is heartening in itself but also a reminder of a post-pradial summer afternoon in a Mediterranean heatwave looking up at the burning sun through a Corsican Pine. Dream on...

This is the empty space which used to be the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. The site has been cleared but the development has halted, apparently due to planning challenges and commercial uncertainty. So no longer the big shows nor the music performances. I remember hearing here in 1980 Roger Waters’ lyrics for The Wall: “What shall we use to fill the empty spaces”; maybe Pink Floyd could play here again to fill the empty site?

Midday in Cours Julien, Marseille in the Quartier des Créatives. So no surprise to see a street art in construction. The artist is working from his iPhone but otherwise he’s painting direct on the base layer he’s prepared on the wall. No prolem with taking a photo but he didn’t want to talk and didn’t leave an obvious tag of his or name signature when he had finished. A long way from the (necessarily?) furtive activities of UK street artists.

Update: the artwork now appears to have been completed with Gilbert Marseille #sylh as attribution. My dictionary gives #sylh meaning Support Your Local Hellhounds
