My Neighbourhood

---

I have photos of the surrounding area on here already, but I thought I'd show what it looks like in the immediate vicinity of my flat (1-block radius). If you've ever been to London and seen a typical residential neighbourhood, you'll understand why I'm happy to live here. Much of London is absolutely filthy, and pretty ugly when it comes to housing. I am grateful to LSE's endowment for buying a pice of this area and letting me stay about. Here it is on a sunny April morning at 6am. Still only feels like spring for a few hours before it rains again every day.

Also, I stumbled upon an effect in my camera that allows me to make everything black and white except the colour blue (why just blue?). Anyway, a couple of these pictures have been experimentally filtered as such.
