One way street. Clear blue sky. In the distance, the BT Tower. It’s the start of the UN End Violence to Women fortnight. In celebration, the BT Tower is wearing orange instead of its usual purple. Banner reads ”UN Women…”

In distance, BT Tower a dark outline against the bright sky, the purple banner just about visible, reading ”You did us proud”. Previous day, the Lionesses won the UEFA women’s Euro final against Spain. The BT Tower knows. It knows everything.

Beautiful, clear autumn day in London.  Eclectic collection of deep red brick houses. Dormers, chimney stacks, old TV antennas. You can just see Mary Poppins landing on the roof any minute now.

BT Tower, seen at a far distance from the south bank of the River Thames. Photo is taken from inside some panorama windows, above Festival Pier. A tourist boat is cruising the river. On the far shore, an obelisk and just above it, the BT Tower in the distance. The banner is blurry at this distance, but since it’s March 8, we reckon it says International Women’s Day. 

Eighty Strand, a beautiful white Art Deco building, is covered in scaffolding. Big clock on facade stuck at 12:08.
