  1. 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 & I was approaching Loughborough Junction, so the moment passed.

  2. 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

  3. #WrongLondon doesn't do charming 'appearing and disappearing' #magicial shops. It does malingering #abandoned warehouses, which elbow their way in between other buildings.

    Never knocked down, just… gone, before that happens.

  4. Life is an #adventure – you never know what you'll see next!
    The world *is* the largest #dungeon – no one gets out alive, and have you seen how many different levels there are?
    Therefore, if you go far enough & put some points in #perception — you might just encounter a bit of #magic

  5. When #Heathrow airport's 3rd runway construction began, #spacetime got weird — concrete started to float!

    Baffling – until they realised the mystical river wardings protecting the airport on three sides had been breached! Worse than the last time too – which had resulted in having to lift the Picadilly line over the River Crane!

  6. Walking past a #graveyard on #ChristmasEve and ignoring the lights that try and lure me within, and the alleys and stairs which say "Just a few steps, come and see what's at the top…"

  7. You're walking through an alleyway when suddenly…a #tree leans over the fence? No, not a tree – a #dragon with wooden flesh. She asks you where her forest grove has gone—only fell asleep for a century or so. Can you help her find it?

  8. One gate stands open, friendly, welcoming.
    The other closed, steadfast blocking, confining.
    Look carefully at their signs

    A babbling creature there was confused why I found this pairing so compelling. Bade me promise not to reveal the location of its lair…

  9. "Christopher Alexander and his group of architects, back in the ’70s, compiled the groundbreaking book A Pattern Language, which looks at the built environment from a city scale down to the décor on your house walls in terms of the human relations that structures and spaces elicit."

    AFAIK this is where digital design pattern thinking comes from too (eg Dark Patterns).

  10. It will be a white Yule in Oslo. Though not a fan of snow and the perverted things people do on it, I can't deny it's damn pretty. And very photogenic.
