Algernon Newton's 'City of London from Hampstead,' (c1920) brings to mind Constable's views painted from a similar spot of commanding elevated views across Hampstead Heath to St Michael's in Highgate.

A gothic wonder from Samreen in Kabul. She never loses her sense of humour - even in the darkest hour.

Nojiri: Distant View of the Ina River Bridge, from Sixty Nine Stations of the Kisokaido Road, by Keisai Eisen, ca. 1835-1838
1995. St Etienne “He’s on the Phone" is pure French pop chic meets grim British reality. Sarah Cracknell’s melancholic whisper set against a euro-house dance beat. The ultimate soundtrack for walking home from the club at dawn in heels, singing the hook into your greasy chip wrapper. Bliss. @120Revisited @Britpopmemories @ShiiineOn_ @OMGIluvthatsong @XMartinsMusicX
