Fat chance. A bus stop on Commercial Road while driving back from the Finnish Church Easter Fair.
Both woke after a restless night with odd anxiety dreams. A busy day - picked up mum to drive to the Easter fair but the traffic was horrendous everywhere - a lot of temporary traffic lights.
The fair was nice - a little more low key than Christmas and the cut-price Marimekko woman wasn't there sadly. But bought a few presents, chocolates including the Fazer Mignon eggs, bread, fish and mämmi for my sisters (rather unappealing traditional Finnish Easter dessert made from rye - even my mum doesn't like it).
Stopped to have sos and mash, open sandwiches and yummy cakes, buying cinnamon buns to take home. Grabbed groceries from the local Nisa also to stock up mum's fridge. Home now chilling.
I love reading the posts accompanying your photographs! And this photo is a real treat; I’m trying to figure out if the graffiti spells ‘fatso’, and the reflection in the bus stop has an intriguing word … BEAUUT … as in ‘hey there, you beaut!’ lol.
Super interesting image - this looks like it’s a Muslim area.
@cocokinetic yes it is, a very historic area in London's migrant history - it has always been home to successive generations of immigrants - Jewish notably (the oldest still surviving UK synagogue is not far away) but now a significant Bengali community with local street signs in English and Urdu
So much to do in a single day. Beautiful capture. Looks a very busy street with all those shops one net to the other. The title put me off at first, made me think there was trouble in the land but then I saw the sign on the bus stop shelter.
