A sunset picture just off the South Acton London Overground station. What you see in the distance is the Chiswick Business Park complex, including the construction towers for the last building which is being added to the lot. There is still some snow left from the past few days. Yesterday I managed to have a little walk with my Canon and take a few pics in Kew - Richmond area. I should do it more often ... I missed it! Here you are a few shots I took (the leftmost one was actually taken with my phone)

Snow in #London

This year is a particularly freezing one, with temperatures dipping well below under 0C. I have to say that the sight of London under a snow blanket is a particularly fascinating one!

Here is a shoot I took from the office, I'm basically pointing to the central area (you can probably spot the BT tower in the mist, and much closer the Chiswick Park District line Tube Station. If you follow the thumbnail below, you will see approximately the same area in a clear sky day.

Soundgarden – The Day I Tried to Live #video

One of the best songs of Soundgarden. Have a look at the video!

Lyrics (from the album "Superunknown"):

I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around
Might do it
One more time around
Might make it
One more time around
Might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones
Inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere
But dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you

Swans in Chiswick

Just a bunch of swans which are apparently enjoying the super freezing temperatures of the last few days.

I would have an idea on how to warm them up ... a roast maybe? :P Just joking!
