Passed Wonder

The interesting, beautiful, or just plain weird things that have caught my eye whilst exploring… in London mostly, but occasionally elsewhere

Many centuries ago, a young kraken swam up the depth of the Thames, hoping to feast upon the heart of the city we now call London — and on its people too! But the giant Gogmagog saw it pass and would not stand for this, for he meant to do just the same! So he threw a spear of living oak that pierced that kraken to its heart, pinning it to the bottom of the Thames. But not killing it, for kraken are undying. Through the years, the wood has grown through the kraken's flesh, and the oak-kraken has grown great and strange on the waters and mud of the Thames, hoping that one day, some fool will dislodge the spear, and it may finally eat out on the Southbank… . #WeirdLondon #hookland #psychogeography #ThamesPath #riverthames #Rainham #kraken #tellingstories #WalkYourWay #remotelondon #LondonLife #ThisIsLondon #LoveLondon #ExploreLondon #MySecretLondon #DiscoverLondon #LondonDetails #LondonGuide #PrettyCityLondon #HiddenLondon #London #flaneur #flâneur #wood #history #mudflats #gogmagog #Thames (at RSPB Rainham Marshes) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbih0-Wt25-/?utm_medium=tumblr

History? The bard's seven ages of man, all atop each other, backed by brutalism on a lost spur of a forgotten & failed 50s & 60s plan to raise Londoners up out of the streets. There can be quite a lot of history, all in one place! 🤣 . #365in2022 #history #sevenagesofman #sculpture #skywalks #CityOfLondonPedway #brutalism #architecture #brutalistarchitecture #LondonLife #ThisIsLondon #LoveLondon #ExploreLondon #MySecretLondon #DiscoverLondon #LondonDetails #LondonGuide #PrettyCityLondon #HiddenLondon #London #streetart #londonstreetart #UrbanArt #StreetArtLondon #StreetArtPhotography #streetstorytelling #urbanphotography #streetphotography #britishtelecom #Shakespeare (at Baynard House, London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbbQNawtQfn/?utm_medium=tumblr

And then. It all goes calm. You've reached the eye of the storm. The heart of the tree. You can tell because you can feel it beating. Not blood, or air, nor even sap. It's beating with light, near-blinding pulses of pure sunlight. You're not sure how you're ever getting home. But somehow you don't mind right now… . #psychogeography #hookland #tellingstories #trees #branches #nightwalks #nightphotography #lighting #lookup #naturephotography #nature #streetstorytelling #urbanphotography #streetphotography #LondonLife #ThisIsLondon #LoveLondon #ExploreLondon #MySecretLondon #DiscoverLondon #LondonDetails #LondonGuide #PrettyCityLondon #HiddenLondon #London #heartofthetree #uk #unitedkingdom #photosofbritain #LondonCity (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca9veOvtAtM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Okay, okay Niall, we get it. You love your vanilla oat lattes. To go. And that's awesome. But do you have to litter the windowsills of Hackney with them? You're why millennials have a bad rep.
