There is life in London
One of the things that stood out most to me in London, was that despite the fact that the city was crowded and loud, interspersed throughout were beautiful gardens, called squares - little pockets of quiet and luscious spring growth. As I got used to the city I began to seek them out, peering through the gated walls of the ones I could not enter (for private residents only) - this ability to see the gardens but not enter was its own kind of torture. As you walk through the city, the mix of concrete and new and old architecture is punctuated by the luscious green of spring growth. A long walk through Hyde Park was a chance to take in the spring smells and another form of life, birds! Here are some of my favourite shots of this aspect of London:
