Station Exit

The Story

On 20 February 2005 something very special happened.

I was finally granted a wish I'd been making for over three years.

It snowed in London!

Typically, I was oblivious to the winter wonderland developing outside, having fallen asleep on the sofa while watching the TV.

After being woken by my flatmate, who'd just come in, I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, grabbed my camera, wrapped up warm and we headed out into the snow.

First stop was the station, where I took several shots, including this one, of some people hurrying past me, determined to get home and warm as quickly as possible.

Comments

nice shots. at first glance that was my reaction, after that I read your description and my second reaction was to laugh at the london remark, being in new york city we get slammed by snow every other year or so.. a few years ago we got a blizzard so big that it covered the top of cars....that was enough to get ny'ers excited heh..
