lovelondonscenes – 84

Posted on January 9, 2015 by John S

I went to the Sigmar Polke exhibition to the Tate Modern yesterday. Took this shot out of one of the windows on a gloomy, rainy morning. The Millenium Bridge and St Paul’s centre ground. Treated a bit on iPhotos for effect. Kind of inspired by the exhibition!

After the Polke, I went to the Conflict, Time, Photography exhibition which is a brilliant, though rather sobering photographic portrayal of man’s inhumanity to man, from the American Civil war onwards. (More of this in a future blog). By the time I was out of that, the weather had completely changed.

This one is a straight iPhone effort. The sky is so blue it could be Canaletto! Well, you know what I mean.

About John S

I'm blogging about the things I love: music, sport, culture, London, with some photos to illustrate aspects of our wonderful city. I’ve written a novel called “The Decision”, a futuristic political thriller, and first of a trilogy. I’m also the author of a book on music since the 1970s called “ I Was There - A Musical Journey” and a volume of poetry about youth, “Growin’ Up - Snapshots/ Fragments”. All available on Amazon and Kindle.

Small world. I was at Conflict – Time in the afternoon. We nearly coincided.

I’ll be interested to read your view of it. I thought it was a superb conception, but found the execution slightly mixed. Though when it was good, it was very, very good…..

Like the two pics!

  Yes, I came out of the conflict-Time exhibition at about 3pm, had some lunch in the cafe on the 3rd floor, finished my Premier League blog and left about 4. Planning to write a piece on the various shows I saw last week. But a quick one on beer first!
