locusmeus

… of the Black Crowes at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam last night. I’d post more, if I had any that were worth showing. Phone camera without telelens and low light and such.

Yesterday the Olympic flame passed through London, and there were several festivities planned on different locations. The one I was most keen to see, was a mini-carnival at Ladbroke Grove, at 11am. I like the yearly Notting Hill Carnival in August, so why not have a taste of it in April, and get the tropical feeling going a bit already. Or that’s what I thought.

Sunday morning I looked out the window to see which turn the weather would have taken after an unexpectedly warm Friday and a drizzling Saturday, and much to my surprise, I saw that it was snowing! Everything was white, and the wind was blowing big snowflakes around the hotel. Quite a beautiful sight, but entirely unfitting for a carnival. Even if a very small version of it in April.

Here’s a couple of impressions of the day:
