For someone who spends a lot of time walking the streets of the City of London in search of interesting and obscure facts and objects, I must admit I was slightly taken aback during my last walk. I came upon this City of London Police Call Post (Not a box, like the Tardis).
It made me realise how monochrome the City actually is. Perhaps it’s because the occupants of the “Square Mile” were more focussed on making money to allow themselves to be sidetracked by friperies such as colourful ornamentation. When you see something that does have colour it really “Pops”, something that was borne out a few hundred yards away at the gates of the Worshipful Company of Drapers.
Out of the blue indeed! :>)
It was a bit of a realisation at the time, surprising what you miss when you think you’re looking!
Beautiful blues. That first one made me smile because the part on top looks like some alien creature coming to life.

They are, and in fact they seem to be the most populous colour you see in the City. Yes I think it must be related to WALL·E 🙂
Looking good…loving these bursts!
