'Have a seat!'

'Have a seat!'

Believe it or not, this gentleman invited me to sit by his side earlier today. By this stage however, my feet were frozen given by the fact that my usually trusted footwear for this kind of weather failed me dramatically. Which is why I politely declined the invitation and made my way home.

Yes, finally even London has its share of snow for this year. Coming home from a delightful performance of 'The Importance of Being Earnest' yesterday evening, I could already feel snowflakes on my cheeks.

Later on, what started as sleet turned into a mini snow storm. And it snowed enough to cover the streets of my neighbourhood in a white blanket by the midnight.






This is when I wrapped myself in a scarf, put a hat on and gloves without which I cannot exist, grabbed my camera and went out (in case the snow melted by the morning). It is not surprising that I was not the only person out. Everybody was out enjoying the snow. Quite frankly, how often do you get snow in London?

Here are three pictures from my outing.

A small park I could not enter, bicycles that I just had to photograph and the mini snowman somebody had already managed to build. What a joy!

No wonder that when I woke up today, my mind was preoccupied with the thought of the snow. To my delight, the picture after the curtains were open was still white. After all it was still quite early so not many people had gone out to make their mark on the scenery. And so I found myself in Kensington Gardens, together with people with cameras (the same as me) and jogging enthusiasts in shorts.

Such was the morning in Kensington Gardens. It is slightly different to the 'Morning sun' post from last week yet still quite charming. The morning sky has its colours and put together with such settings... no surprise that there were so many cameras around.


I would like to claim the gentleman from the intro image for my creation but I just came there at the right time to take a shot of him. Therefore, this is attributed to an anonymous individual who certainly enjoyed snow in the park.

It is past midday and we still have some snow around. Of course the streets turned into sludge (that is inevitable) but the small park I photographed at midnight still remains covered with snow. How great to have some variety.
