Brighton is home to some spectacular street art... from the train to the beach, mostly it is enjoyed or disdained and ignored though I'm not sure the owners of Thameslink motor unit 700108 are too pleased.
Livening up a routine train ride from London to Brighton via Gatwick with some experimentation with SlitScan camera techniques. This is similar in principle to an office flat bed scanner except that my camera is looking out of the window as the train moves.
Twelfth Night, the night before Epiphany, the day the Three Kings finished their journey following the star. The Christmas decorations are still in place and the crowds are much less than in the December frenzy. London’s West End is focussed on the January sales, rather less enthusiastically now we also have Cyber Friday. Many a Christmas trees has lost its tinsel and lights and is waiting ignominiously for the recycling lorry.
“Fire and Fury” comes to London. Note the hamburger debris amongst the controversial book by author Michael Wolff, subtitled “Inside the Trump White House”. I’m not sure why the Siamese cat is in the display as the Trump Presidency has famously eschewed having a Presidential pet but there were some unofficial t-shirts during the campaign with the slogan “My Siamese cat supports Donald Trump”.
Window display in Piccadilly by Waterstones, in the reflections-free display windows, now listed, that were the showcase for the DAKS brand of the Simpsons outfitters. The window glass is very concave to the outside, presenting the merchandise much more clearly due to the absence of reflections.
