British Museum - London Highlights

The British Museum is a showcase of treasures from the once expansive British Empire. As with many of London’s attractions the building itself is worth a visit to see.

London

London continues to delight. We were lucky enough to recently visit friends living in Canary Wharf.

A year ago we made the same long journey but then burdened with large suitcases and significant trepidation. The last year has been difficult and the culture shock of French society has been more challenging than I expected.

Graffiti in Melbourne

Melbourne has a reputation for graffiti and street art. Specific lane ways and surfaces appear set aside for covert artists. These walls are not cleared of work and over time they have been covered in vibrant and visually arresting artwork.

Graffiti in Lyon

Graffiti in Lyon tends to be a form of tagging. Marks executed with no artistic intent; an expression of defiance and to desire to mark a location. One tagger went a step further than marking a wall, they had tagged a hedge.

Doubt

I underestimated the influence and hold doubt can have over me. Doubt creeps in and lurks unwelcome in the corner of my mind. It waits patiently. Here, time is on doubt’s side.

Fête des lumières

Fête des lumières (festival of lights) is Lyon’s largest annual festival. During the four days of festivities the centre of the city swells with visitors enjoying the light shows and art installations.

Fête des feuilles

We came back from sunny Australia just in time to see the fête des feuilles, festival of leaves, in Lyon’s Parc de la Tête d’Or. It was by chance that we stumbled upon the open air exhibit of autumnal works.

Clouds

Being above the clouds is awe inspiring. Vast distances of soft cloud stretch out in every direction.

Playful Recycling Station

Changi airport is not the most attractive airport but it does have impressive recycling stations. I love the functional and playful design of these three bins.
