Instagram April 2015

Oh wow! A new feature to the blog will be my Instagram monthly updates starting with April 2015. I will be going through the background to the images that get posted on Instagram on a monthly basis.

So to start off...

Oh okay... this was taken at the end of March but I thought it very much deserves a mention. These neon-coloured pigeons were created by Patrick Murphy and had them perched on lampposts around Soho Square and Greek Street. These were suppose to up for a duration of 3 months starting from February 2015 but last week I saw that they were still there. So if you are in and around the area, it is very much a thing to look at before they take off completely.

This image is of Granary Square's fountains in full spurt some time in the evening. My phone seem to have completely removed a large chunk of photos which included the fountains, so I went back to take a fresh set. An app was just released when I returned which allowed users to play snake with the fountains. The app was not available from my app store so I shared my partner-in-crime's iPhone to play. We only played for about 15 minutes until the time hit 8pm until all games ceased and a stream of colours was unleashed, which is what we witnessed in the photo.

I took this photo in 2013 when I just finished work on a Saturday and met up a friend to walk along the side banks between London Bridge to Southbank Centre. We both took pictures of Southwark Bridge which was lit up against a backdrop of a hazy blue sky and lights of the City. It absolutely was wonderful to watch as we walked along the bank.

This is image is of the Larry sculpture from the Shaun in the City trail which can be found at the City of London Information Centre. I usually pop into the centre as there is so much things you can find there that shows how amazing London can be with its overly high abundance of things to do in London.

I went to the Bishops gate Institute as part of Open House last year with its rich history in the arts and history. The library there is a beauty to behold like the rest of the Institute.

I went to the Canalway Cavalcade on May Bank Holiday Monday and the sun was out on full streams bringing out the colours of the boats at Little Venice. There was so much to do on the day with sights to enjoy, food to indulge in and activities to get yourself stuck in. It is something I look forwards to doing again next year!
