Borough of Paddington

Sunny Tuesday walk in Little Venice.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Paddington isn't a borough anymore. Isn't it in the borough of Westminster? Perhaps things have just changed a bit since 1900. Not unlikely.

The End

Just in case you need to know the way.

Blue Door

I seem to go through phases of shooting different neighborhoods. It's probably because I have single days where I'm really productive and then a dry spell for a week, so all my photos are concentrated on whatever I did on that one day.

Keeping that in mind, we just had a slew of photos from Primrose Hill. The next several will come from my old standby, the Hampstead Heath area. It's been cloudy as all get out for the last two weeks (as a chronic hypochondriac, I'm beginning to worry I'm developing a Vitamin D deficiency), but I finally managed to drag my photographing butt outside because I was running out of material for the blog. Enjoy!

Coincidentally, by favorite hangout back home is the Blue Door Pub. Check it out if you ever find yourself in the Twin Cities area. Killer cajun tater tots.

Hyde Park Corner

The subway at Hyde Park Corner (that is, the underground walking paths and not the tube) is decorated with these murals depicting the lives of important dead men. I think Wellington is in here somewhere. I don't remember whose life this one is supposed to represent, but I liked the crowd scene with the selectively colored-in people. I'm impressed that these murals don't seem to have suffered at the hands of graffiti artists at all.

Got a nickel?

The last in a quick series of three photos from my home state of Minnesota. Snapped this shot of a row of public telephone booths in a local restaurant in Rochester, MN. Or, rather, what used to be a row of public telephone booths.

Tik Tok

A quick jaunt over to good ol' Minne-snow-ta for some winter shots in my hometown. Spotted this awesome license plate. Too bad it's misspelled. Unless that person's name is actually "Keisha." In which case, that kinda sucks.

Red box

Disused post box on Elm Row in Hampstead.
