Halesowen number 9 stop to The Delaunay, Covent Garden.

6:40 am black, damp, cold
Icy morning.
At the bus stop waiting for the 9.

The bus goes up Manor way
A golden road
Sodium light gilds the darkness.

The sky is becoming blue
Sun rise..to New Street.





Inside the station
Waiting for the London-Midland train....

And then we are in London, an unusually deserted tube station.
Dust haze like mist, fogs the air.

Then we are in Heddon Street
Flowers, candles, drawings and most interestingly, letter
Left where Ziggy Stardust was....

Then to Pret for coffee...
Then Persepolis for falafel and tea sweetened with safron-sugar, flavored with cardomon...

Next to an abandoned church
Art exhibition.
Outside, Egyptian geese and the sun is setting.

The last part of the journey
To the beautiful Canada Water station...
Metal cladding on the walls reminding me of Event Horizon.

The sky once more dark
Stars and moon
And more cake and coffee,  at The Delaunay.
