Monday Murals – Street Art from Brick Lane, London

taken back in May, 2024

Brick Lane is a famous street in the East End of London. If you’re a fan of graffiti and street art, then you’re in the right place – Brick Lane is famous for it. It has a large population of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants and if you’re after a good curry this is the neighbourhood to travel to.

Water, Water Everywhere….The Thames

thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/06/08/spiers-wharf-for-water-water-everywhere-222-2/

In London you can’t help but see the Thames if you travel south to the downtown area and if you’re crossing a bridge it is more than likely across the Thames.

Tuesday Textures – From the Barbican

art made with textiles has the most amazing textures

On our recent trip to London, we stopped at the Barbican to see the show, Unravel: The Power of Politics of Textiles in Art. The first thing we saw was the exterior of the gallery cloaked in fabric.

Inside the gallery over 100 artists had works of textile art on display. Many of the pieces were very textural which was quite evident from a distance and others made for wonderful close-up shots of the detail in the pieces.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Bridges

thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2024/01/20/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-bridge/

Ever since I started teaching the unit on Bridges from the grade 5 curriculum I’ve been somewhat obsessed with them. I love bridges but I wish I had more photos. The following bridges are from Venice, Florence, Loire Valley in France, London over the Thames, from Ontario, P.E.I., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
