This was basically the inverse of the last one. I left the flat in bright sunshine, arrived in gathering gloom with the Sun obscured, got drenched in a downpour on the walk home, and arrived back at the flat in bright sunshine again. Well. Even worse, there was a tease of a chance on theContinue reading “15th October 2020 13:00”

The first opportunity for an orange autumn tag came and went. I wasn’t planning on walking down this afternoon but I had errands to run so headed here on the off chance. No luck. As a tease a tiny patch of blue drifted southeastwards approaching 1 o’clock, but it didn’t pass the Shard and itContinue reading “25th September 2020 13:01”

Here for entirely different reasons, this would have been a bonus. As it was it was cloudy and the path to the north from which it might just have been visible was closed for cleaning work. Some you win… It was a bit of a tease as there was blue sky around, and I knewContinue reading “21st August 2020 13:00”

Another beautiful day, but this time it was really pushing it. I had to cram myself into the alley heading riverwards from St Olaf’s car park, and just about managed to see the Sun in the Shard between the buildings, ceilings and railings. Looking north from here, this is probably the last time I’ll getContinue reading “11th August 2020 13:00”

Four weeks later I made it back again. This was a bit more of a surreptitious mission, I was out with a friend and I hadn’t told him, and we walked to London Bridge intent on carrying on the previous night’s revelries. That was the easy part of course, we’d had years of practice atContinue reading “31st July 2020 13:00”

It was a much nicer day a couple of weeks later, although a few clouds rolled in just in time to make it interesting. Still, at least you can see the Sun in this shot. I have to admit this was at 13:01 – I was there and snapping at 13:00 on the nose, butContinue reading “3rd July 2020 13:00”

There’d never been a spring like spring 2020. There was plague in the air and not a cloud in the sky. I’d grown two beards and lost two kilos. London was quiet. Everyone was going a bit stir crazy. But at least by the summer solstice we were allowed to visit people’s gardens. We wentContinue reading “21st June 2020 13:02”
