As the crackdown on anyone who seemed #different intensified, Professor Xavier's students were forced to find new ways to identify where they could safely meet.

It's not a gherkin. Built like an apple corer to extract the City's dark heart, all that selfish greed, yet leave #London's thousand thousand loves, tales and nations, flowing down the Thames.

Never reached the heart, bounced off an impenetrable shield of privilege. So they put offices in, and called it a #gherkin

"Oh, you again, Daddy mentioned you! Well, looks like you don't have a choice this time - the unimaginable is coming right this way!! HOW FAST CAN YOU RUN?"

This time seen near the #RiverLea between #Hertford and #Welwyn

As I quickly glanced left, for a moment I thought the lit buildings were huge pillars holding the night #sky above me – a highway to… somewhere.

Then I realised that Night's Bridge is by Hyde Park and I was approaching Loughborough Junction, so the moment passed.

Unfortunately, after spending *ages* trying to get the perfect #sunset angle, the photographer was eaten by ravenous wild peafowl

Occasionally I wonder if I could popularise a new form of #divination based on the shuffling of #desktop images - a backgroundomancer.

Looks like I have a portentous (and nature-filled?) weekend coming up!

Will loved spending his evenings down by the #docks with her, the views were lovely, watching the planes land was cool, they could talk for hours about anything and nothing. So hard to find that nowadays.

She was a #ghost - died 20 years ago. But he didn't care.

People speak of the '#dark heart of the #city' as a #metaphor for the rat race and concentration of power
But that's because they have not stood before it
Have not heard its piston thump, buildings shaking and taxis swerving in sync with it
Be glad you haven't seen it
It's better that way
