'Instagram Battersea Power Station' by Me

Instagram Battersea Power Station, a photo by PhotoPuddle on Flickr.

This photo is just a snapshot taken on my mobile phone from a train window but with a bit of Instagram treatment I think it actually looks rather cool and dramatic. I love the look of Battersea Power Station so took a picture with my phone on the train into London purely for Instagram purposes. Trouble is, it turned out to be really rubbish and due to the speed of the train there was no chance to take it again. Therefore on my way home I was determined to take a better shot. My homeward bound train however was packed and I was facing the wrong direction. I wasn't going to let this stop me though so after elbowing the person next to me and looking a bit daft I turned round and got this picture. I was rather chuffed. I hope you like it too and it was worth me becoming the annoying person on the train! There's always one!

We took a trip into London today and had a fabulous time. We went to the Science Museum which was good fun.Then as it was such a beautiful day we took a stroll through Hyde Park before popping to Oxford and Regent Street for a spot of shopping. Well we just had to take the little one to Hamleys! It was rather cold out but we soon forgot about that as the sun was just so beautiful. And I actually saw a tree full of blossom. I was so excited that I actually did squeal out loud a little.

Today's photo is a London themed one. It's of Battersea Power Station which is a landmark that just fascinates me. In many ways it's quite ugly but at the same time just magnificent. I think it would be such a shame if they decided to tear it down one day. I was drawn to this picture because of the colours. They are just so surreal and really striking. I love the clouds too. I like how they take up only the bottom half of the sky in this shot! Great image!
