Snowy London!
Snowy courtyard @ Stamford Street Apartment 24.01.2007Tuesday morning. While I was still relishing my dreams in my warm cozy bed my phone went off. It was a text message from a dear friend bearing a great news: SNOW!
I can't recall any memory of getting off my bed in such an instant (especially in this weather obviously). Anyways, that's what I did, not even with a millisecond of hesitation... Although I don’t have much of a view from my room, I could still catch a glimpse of it on top of the bus stop across the street, and the passing cars and trucks looked as if they were from a new fleet. Not an ideal place for snow impact though. I decided to head to the kitchen.
Oh yeah, the kitchen! That’s where these pictures were taken. However embarrassing it is I have to admit I was truly mesmerised by the tranquility and beauty the snow has brought to the banal courtyard. It’s not the first time snow has caught me by surprise, yet I was still, in a way, touched... Why does snow always have such an impact (on me at least)? Perhaps that’s the feeling of sublime any of us might have in front of nature; perhaps, that’s a subconscious desire to have one’s soul purified; or, perhaps, I was just plainly flattered by the fact that I have had this luck to see such a rare scene in London...
Perhaps I’m just delighted to have something worth sharing, with you.
