Sometimes you are away for a break, it might be Sheffield, Cardiff or Edinburgh - this time it is London, Brick Lane in fact. There is so much to see, taste and view, a veritable microcosm within the pulsing heart of a busy city once known as Londinium.

The face on the wall looks familiar, someone famous, a DJ or an actor? - not quite sure who but I certainly would be enlightened to know. This shot was taken on the 30th December 2007, a night away from New Years Eve where the Yuletide celebrations were still in full flow. It has a strangely calming effect on me each time I see it.
