110613 Mobile Library?

030613 Battersea by night

Fabulous light this evening, but by the time I'd gathered camera, card, battery and lens, I only had time to don my slippers and scramble out onto the roof.  No tripod handy, so hand-held and rather noisy.   Hoping we…

260513 PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES …
