Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world. ~Ada Louise Huxtable
London has been superbly hot and sunny for the past few weeks, it makes a nice change as England is not known for the best of summer weather. Additionally last year was exceptionally bad and I was reminded today how we ended up wearing our winter coats in June because it got so cold, so this year we are really making up for it. The change in Londoners is amazing to see, I am noticing that everyone is smiling more, the roads are suddenly full of people cycling to work rather than catching the underground. People are stopping to meet up with friends after work and we are all staying out late to extend our days, heading to pub gardens for a drink so we can catch the last few hours of sun together and once the sunsets the warm nights are still buzzing with people wanting to do anything but head home and indoors. There is a feeling of summery optimism which is very addictive, Summer '09 has a glow about it. To pass on this buzz I thought I would post a few photographers work on my blog which I have come across on Flickr.com I hope you catch the vibe and it helps to spread a bit of summery cheer into your day. Enjoy.
