64 Million Artists Day 13 - count 100

"Whatever the weather head out for a quick walk. Count to 500 in your head. Every hundred paces stop and look around for a minute. What do you notice? What colours are there? Sounds?"

Crossing Waterloo Bridge at 11 p.m.

(count 100)

The traffic is loud. Raindrops are peppering my forehead.

(count 100)

A couple ask me to take a photo of them (they've stopped their car by the sidewalk). The National Theatre and the London Eye are both lit the same shade of red.

(count 100)

There's a lot of boats moored in the middle of the river. I can see a bit of a beach on the south bank.

(count 100)

The beach is large - the tide is out.

(count 100)

The rain has stopped. The pedestrian bridge to the right of me is lit with strips of cold blue-white lights.
