Inspired

I went to have a look at the Sony World Photography Awards exhibition at Somerset House. Rain was tipping down when I arrived, so much so that there were no pigeons to be seen playing in the fountains there. I was glad that I began in the West Wing where the "Also Rans" are on display, many of which are, to be perfectly frank, rather less inspirational than perusing blip over a cup of coffee. I should mention the landscapes of Italian marble quarries, I liked those a lot. Nothing else from that side of the exhibition really springs to mind now. But in the East Wing were the Winners' Galleries which I found much, much more fun. A special mention for the Greek entry, and probably not because I am biased actually, but because it made me smile all the way to my core.

On my way home I spotted these guys working late. I guess that much of their day had had to be postponed because of the rain, but they did seem to be enjoying the evening sunshine.
