July

July was not really fruitful regarding the photo topics. It has produced the least photos so far, but I guess it is not completely July's fault. I'm afraid I'm getting bored of central London, and it's just not inspiring me anymore. Even the weather is almost the same since April. Maybe some snow would show London from a new perspective, but probably I will have to wait a little bit more for that.
The only things that captured my attention, are these curious creatures who have been sniffling around my house lately.

I knew that there are foxes having parties on the streets of London during the night, but I never had the chance to observe their activities so closely. Actually I'm kind of a night owl, and one night around 4am, I heard some noises from the street. As it was somewhat different from the usual screaming of drunk people, I went to my window to find out what its source was. It turned out, that it came from not one but 2 foxes who were playing under my window. A minute later they got company by two other foxes. Since then, I could see one of them almost every night around the same time. Once they came later than usually, and the sun already gave enough light that I could take pictures of them.



I took a few pictures along some walks I had, but the majority of my recently posted photos came from the time when my parents visited me.

We've been to Greenwich (which wasn't really special), from where I took a picure of the skyline of Canary Wharf, a major business district of London, which contains many of the UK's tallest buildings[1].




One day we even visited Brighton, had a fish & chips on the Brighton Pier, and took a look on the Royal Pavilion (took some pictures as well, but finally they did not qualify for publicity) before we headed back to London.






With the beginning of August, I moved to East London, close to the previously mentioned Canary Wharf. Although the moving was not particularly for the sake of seeing a new side of the city, it might also help to inspire me again.

  2. Well, I haven't spent too much time there, I did not even visit the Greenwich market you've mentioned before, but it did not really amazed me for the first time. Maybe my second visit will be better ;)
