London - August Birds St James Park

Walking through St James Park to and from work, plenty of birds on the lake
 
Grey Heron hiding on a coot's nest

Coot delicately feeding its young.  Who would have thought that the coot has a dark side when bringing up their young, only feeding the stronger of its brood?

London - Shoreditch Graffiti

I had a walk around Shoreditch one lunchtime earlier in the year and was amazed by the graffiti.  Not to everybody's taste, but it kept me interested.
 
Simplicity of design.

A modern twist to Rene Magritte?


"Art is a lie that makes realise the truth" Picasso

I missed plenty as can be seen if you google "Shoreditch Graffiti".  Another walk when I am in the area.
