Diamond Jubilee Flotilla: The Dregs

Despite the wonderful images you might have seen on TV, this was most Londoners' view of the Diamond Jubilee flotilla if they headed down to the river. I only got this shot by holding my camera above the heads of those in front of me. The flags were nice to see (especially the bright ones with the Queen all decked out in yellow).

See the shard disappearing into the mist in the distance?

juxtaposing

The juxtaposition of estate (housing projects) and fine mansion-like residences that I find endlessly charming in London.

Ritz

Ritzy abodes in Chelsea.

Reflections on art

Piece at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea. The floor is covered in what looked like gasoline or petroleum or something. It reflected everything beautifully but smelt a bit.

Eccleston St

A beautifully painted house just off Eccleston St in Belgravia. I always feel a bit odd taking pictures of private residences, but I couldn't pass this one without snapping a couple shots.

Saatchi speakers

An audio-visual experience at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea. The photo doesn't really do it justice because what's so cool about the piece is the sound--the humming and feedback from all those speakers whenever a few piano notes are struck.
