zoo lates snapshots

A few weeks ago my friend and I visited London Zoo during one of its summer late openings. Luckily, we had great weather, the atmosphere was buzzing and the animals were out to play! Here are a few snaps from the evening...

serpentine pavilion 2013

On any spare evening this summer, head down through Hyde Park to Kensington Gardens, where you will discover this year's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion. It's always exciting to see what the new pavilion is like, and this year is no exception! 

A few friends and I gathered there to pass the evening and I noticed a vibrant atmosphere surrounding the place. Designed by Sou Fujimoto, the pavilion appears like a cloud floating above the grass; its appearance achieved through a composition of steel grids. Fujimoto, who cites organic structures as an inspiration, demonstrates here the fundamental principles of nature's design, whose geometrical patterns make up all organic things. The structure itself invites people to sit, climb and interact with it as well as one another. Its transparency causes it to become part of the landscape of the park, encouraging exploration and enchantment. It's worth checking out - it'll be around until late October!

holds us all together

sometimes something happens 

which reminds you 

that we've been put here 

to make each other's lives better 

and that those you are with 

you have been put with for a reason 

so let go of your pride 

your jealousy 

your anger 

and be grateful 

that there is something stronger 

that holds us all together

take a walk in the forest...

Forests hold so many secrets; they are true places for inspiration. And I have always admired how they look completely different in different places in the world. They have their own personalities, like people. Always a source of mystery and exploration for the curious.

How do forests make you feel?

and the sun shone on those who turned to face it

It's like we're being spoilt with all this sunshine! A group of us headed down to Brighton for a day to celebrate a friend's birthday. There is so much to love about Brighton; there's always something happening there - it's a quirky, friendly and romantic city bustling with life...
