St George-in-the-East

When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
In large white flakes falling on the city brown…

Nicholas Hawksmoor's St George-in-the-East, Cannon Street Road, Shadwell, Tower Hamlets, E1

Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town…

From Robert Bridges’ London Snow (1890)

  1. You have terrific photo blog. I particularly like your style of photography and the associated commentary (perhaps because they somewhat mirror my own).
