- Newsagents put up big headlines to sell papers. Often, they're quite entertaining. On that stand, you can see the Evening Standard, the Times, the Guardian, the Independent, the Daily Telegraph, the Financial Times, and some of the tabloids (as well as Time Out). London has a dizzying array of daily and weekly publications.
- This is Hammersmith Bridge in West London, which I was privileged to walk, and row, under for a few weekends, having (briefly, it seems) joined the Sons of the Thames rowing club.

- Thank God, the days finally lengthened to the point where it was light both when I was going to, and leaving, work. Here's the sky one recent evening as I exited.
- Here it is one recent evening when I got home.
- Did I mention the poetry on the Underground? Just another sign of the change in season. (And of London's status as "coolest city on the planet".)
