Unreal City...

Below are some photos I took of the cityscape of London whilst staying at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in Knightsbridge over Christmas.





Unreal City, 60
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many.
Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled,
And each man fixed his eyes before his feet. 65
Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,
To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours
With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.
T.S.Eliot The Wasteland, I, 'The Burial of the Dead'


(And this is a sneaky photo of the snowed over golf course where I live)
