Travel theme: Cities

After last week’s slice of rural life at the Sheep Olympics, I thought I’d change things up a little with a very urban travel theme.

Graffiti on London‘s South Bank.

A rainy day on the Via Condotti in Rome.

Manhattan, in all her quirky loveliness…

…and again – I adore the Big Apple, there’s always something quite magical to photograph.

Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and, in this, hasn’t changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman. – John Berger

The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It’s the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism. – Jean Baudrillard
