London Morning 2.

camrogersLast night we drank pints of good English cider and watched the sun go down over Camden Lock. I'm going to walk around today and take a few shots for Fateless verisimilitude (not that I really need it at this stage. It's just a kick being back here so long after writing that scene.)
Kicking myself that I didn't align the photo more carefully but... eh.
I keep thinking about Doha though. It was so goddamned desolate. Dry, hard-packed clay. The whole place was one big hazy pancake of it. Made me want to just pick a direction and walk. Wishing I'd gotten some shots out the window on approach (instead of departure) as the architecture of the area really leapt out: the kind of boxy, narrow, stepped, rectilenear architecture you just don't see in the Western world - themselves arranged in rectileaner plug-and-play patterns. And some beautiful salmon-pink mosques contrasting with the sandy colour of everything else. It was really something.
The contrast between Doha from the air and London really got me as well.
Flickr album here. Maybe 15 shots. Can't really correct or mess with them on a Eee, but I probably will once I get home.
OK, better do some Fateless before the market, then the Dev. Turns out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reddragdiva can't make it due to last minute family things, which is a shame.
