It seems summer has arrived in London. The last weeks were mostly about bright sunny days and relatively hot weather.I have to note now, that in Scandinavia if the temperature goes above 20 celsius degrees and you can see the sun at the same time, it can be definitely considered as a wonderful summer weather. In the recent years I got used to this, and now I can't even bear if it is hotter than 30 degrees.
Now I started to have difficulties, as there is almost no wind, and the temperature has approached my limit several times already. I could not stay inside my house, sometimes it is even worse there, so I had to go out taking some pictures.
Above left you could see a picture of my common photo-topic, the London Eye, while on the right the driver of a double-decker is probably having siesta.
These pictures have not been taken on an Easter vacation to Northern Africa or the Middle-East, but on the streets of Whitechapel, in London. It is really interesting to go there, you can experience a totally different atmosphere from what you see a few miles further to the center of London.Well, this post happened to be quite short, more pictures are coming soon.
move further east and you will meet all the saris in little india!
ReplyDeletei love watching all the different national dresses on the streets of London - amazing how many different backgrounds we have here :)
last week i cam past most of your pictures on my (work) drive out of london, seeing those london icons keeps making me think of your pictures :)
How much further should I go towards East? Can you tell a bit more specifically? I might visit it.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, there's so many nations here, I just read somewhere, that about 40% of London's population is not British! You can get to know about those cultures without travelling, just by having a walk in the city :P
Oh, really? I'm very happy to hear that the buildings/places themselves remind someone of my pictures!! :)
Between East Ham and West Ham. The whole area is called Newham. (or little india?)
ReplyDeletealso - less nations, but good wide view over london: have you been to greenwich park yet??
Oh, I see, thanks! I have not been to Greenwich either, it's on the list as well :)
ReplyDeletebut lots of international food in greenwich market (+10 different countries each day, not the same ones everyday)
