After catching Front Row on Radio 4 the other evening I just had to follow their advice and see the Twilight exhibition at the V&A, a collection of images from international photographers http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/photography/twilight/index.html. So I visited yesterday. The theme of twilight, was a reference to the special properties of the light, and the special feeling it invokes. Some of the photographers did their work using the natural surroundings, others staged and manipulated to produce the twilight feel artificially. I obviously liked some more than others, check out the link for yourself.
After that, I walked through Hyde Park on my way to see Big Al, and the sky was perfect, twilight, clear skies, with planes landing in the west a Heathrow, vapour trails set off in the setting sunlight, and calm walking through the park in a tree tunnel, but with the noise of the traffic not far away, and the bright lights of the road and buildings just visible. Beautiful man!(do you think I might get a slot on Front Row?)
