In 1991 British Rail was paralysed by a light dusting of snow. The immortal explanation was that it was "the wrong kind of snow." Last night's once in a millennium hell-storm dumped a stupefying 3 inches or more and London's shut down, at least the public sector, with one brave exception; His Excellency, BoJo, the Mayor of London, cycled into City Hall to announce
"This is the right kind of snow, it's just the wrong kind of quantities. I have never seen anything like it."I look forward to the London Olympics. Meanwhile it's been fun to wander round with my new camera, a Canon 5d2, and 2 fine lenses, Canon 85mm f1.8 and Sigma 50mm f1.4. This gallery shows the area round my apartment in the last 24 hours.

Wonderful snow photos!
BoJo actually cycled in? How refreshing. Brave or foolish, or both:)

I can't get too excited about the snow, which is as you might imagine, commonplace in my neck of the woods, but I do like all the shapely women in bronze.
I had a twinge of regret that the giant snowman wasn't in fact a giant Dalek...
