This week, I got it together. I seemed to spend most of yesterday pointing my camera at the sky. For some reason every picture that should have had the sun in, did not. Here is a picture that Mr P. took of me photographing the sun, somewhere on the Camden Islington borders (dahhhlink), on our way home from Hampstead Heath. Although it looks cloudy, the sun was peeping out in the direction I was pointing my camera. So the theme is covered !
I took this picture in St Pancras station. If you have not been in since it re-opening , you should give it a visit. It is completely gorgeous. Upstairs they are just getting together the new entrance for cars and taxi’s to drop off. There is an Italian restaurant where I once had breakfast at 9am, Monday morning after dropping a friend onto the Eurostar, where you can watch all the trains come and go and be right on top of the big contentious ( I love it!) sculpture of the couple saying hello, or goodbye.
St Pancras Station
They have hung a large olympic logo, which as you exit off the train are coloured. This is the view from the back, which they left metallic -you can just see glimpses of the colours on the two outside top circle.
SONG OF THE DAY – Nitin Sawney -Mausam THIS IS A REAL FAVOURITE OF MINE It is absolutely beautiful and well worth a listen….I would love to learn this song. I have found a rough translation.
Rough translation
Ek rang main jeena jeewan ko – living life in only one way (ek rang means one colour)
Ae jaane tamanna theek nahin – is not good enough my sweetheart.
Gam aur khusi do raaste hain – Happiness and sadness are two different paths
Ek raah pe chalna theek nahin – Holding onto only one is not good enough.
Badal jaye mausam – The season will change
Khusi aaye, jaye gam – Happiness will come in, sadness will go away
