Lambeth Road



I chose to go on a walk I usually do when I want to be by myself, listen to music and try to think, without paying attention to what is going on around me. It is a quiet walk, my usual "meditation" walk. But this time I had to switch of the music, open my eyes and try to look carefully around me.
I discovered myself making an effort to look at everything and realized how many things could fit in such a small piece of land. This made me wonder about how many things there are in the whole world. Which was and is a scary but exiting thought.
I then decided to focus my "observation walk" onchimneys, street lights, and railings. I was impressed by the amount of differences there where between them: colors, shapes,age,materials,positions...I also realized it is a residential street: there are no off-license, no restaurants or pubs, not many busy people around, but houses, a couple of schools,the Imperial War Museum, plenty bus-stops, nature...
