Abstract City

Central Parts of London

Two photos taken in London. One taken of the River sign board in Vauxhall at the Millbank Pier, and the other taken of the London Eye also known as the Millennium Wheel in Waterloo. Both photos were taken in the late evening on a very cold Monday night - and just about 40mins before the start of The Walking Dead season 5. I got home just in time to watch it.

Silence

Taken on the streets of London during a very busy hour of the day, yet the picture gives the viewer the impression of an evacuated city - emptiness. As if the only thing you can hear is the sound of a rattling tin-can bobbling along the ground by a continuous rush of wind, and the swift, ever-changing, movement of the clouds as a symbol of an inevitable storm brewing.  And though you know you're alone, the expectation of a towing bell from the clock tower, is never heard, but the chime is created in the patiently waiting mind as a substitute. Then, the question beckons... "Where is everybody?"
