TOP 5: Sky blue.

London skies have been very grey lately, and I’m craving a bit of blue. Here are five blue-skied photos from my archives:

1. Spanish seas mirroring Spanish skies.

2. Bermondsey evening lights.

3. London on a crisp spring day.

4. My (admittedly filthy) skylight.

5. Bristol blues.

You can see more of my photos on my Flickr.

TOP 5: Sky Blue Sky.

The weather is fine in Londontown! Listen to this song by Wilco and enjoy these brilliant blues!

1. Quite possibly my favourite book cover, ever.

2. Piles of sky blue pencils (From here.)

3. A portrait of my toilet. Beauty in small things, and all that.

4. A double blue sky, taken by me, near Tower Bridge.

5. Sky blue boogie time.

Right! I’m going for a walk! Enjoy your day, Londoners (and everyone else too, for that matter.)

TOP 5: Dusk.

Dusk: The glorious mash-up of night and day.

TOP 5: Blue and white.

Blue and white are the colours of Greece. They represent the blue sea and its frothy waves, and also the brilliant blue sky with its pure white clouds. I miss these colours, and it comforts me to see them popping up allover London, too.

TOP 5: Sky Lines.

I often complain about the English sky, but hey – at least it’s never boring.

1. Veiny trees against the blue.

2. Two white lines and one-and-a-half birds.

3. A washing line bisecting the dusk sky.

4. The enormous, windowed end of Paddington station.

5. Electric cables and an electrical storm brewing.

TOP 5: Clouds.

The sky is such an interesting place:

1. A cloudy sky is tolerable when the blue peeks through.

2. Of course, fake clouds are preferable.

3. I don’t mind clouds when they’re filled with colour…

4. …especially such rich golden hues.

5. I guess it’s all good. Unless it’s raining.

TOP 5: Twilight.

In no particular order:

helena-maratheftis-twilight-11. Basketball court, Whitechapel, London.
