Christmas is just a night away! A few nights ago I had a chance to just stroll around the city on a slightly rainy evening, so I grabbed my camera, set my playlist to some jazz and wandered around the Thames.

I started off around Holborn Station which is located in eastern central London. One of Michelle's school campuses is located here so I find myself in the area often.

Lots of narrow alleyways that normally are packed at all hours, but as Christmas approaches, everyone is mostly around the shopping areas like Oxford Circus.

The rain brings out a new element to the city, dripping light into crevices otherwise left alone in the darkness. Cars float across streams of white and yellow with hissing clouds on their tails.
