I know this isn't #gothic #architecture, but that #crow (or #raven?) lined up in decoration of the lintel with the bare branches and looming gray #clouds ...

Folks who follow this account know I love lions and various other #garden #sculptures. I've never seen this before on Streetview or IRL: a male and female #lion guarding the home together.

Just passing by #ThomasHardy's place today! My primary literary interest is, not surprisingly, description & in particular #landscape. I love Hardy b/c his descriptions are vivid and his characters are inextricably a part of their landscapes.

Inspired by Rob's London's video which lists media that features #BatterseaPowerStation, I'm trying to do a full watch through. #UptheJunction last weekend, #Hitchcock's #Sabotage next!

Spent Sunday afternoon watching Up the Junction (1968) and enjoyed comparing locations in the film then to that which I can see on the map now.

Something about this part of the #PatmoreEstate developed in the 1950s/60s feels almost medieval, like a castle courtyard.

Quoted from "Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Browning or Pure, Ornate, and Grotesque Art in English Theory" (1864) by Walter Bagehot. I've never read anything that more perfectly describes how I feel when I travel these virtual roads.

In a city with a lot of hedges, this is the uber-hedge. The Hedge-Lord, if you will.

There is something about the colour and shade of this building that I really love.
