All Souls, Langham Place

We walked past this church on the back way from the BBC, where we'd gone hoping to attend a recording on Saturday, but sadly there was someone smoking cannabis in the queue, so my daughter reacted and we didn't get to see the show. Hung around waiting for her to get her breathing under control enough to be able to cope with the tube home.

This was a boring shot, so I've played with the processing. The noticeboard is for Hope in the City, ironically with one of the many bell tents around the church in view behind.

The church tower was open for the one and only time this year in the morning, but it was grey, dull and mizzling, so I know from experience that it's going to be slippery and the views weren't going to be great.

Three good things:
1. She was well enough to go out and did recover eventually.
2. We planned some more dressmaking for my daughter to do - a wallet for a friend;
3. Lots of fruit and veg portions in lunch mix.

Thank you for looking and your amazing response to the water and oil droplets. I prefer to look at your pictures rather than thanking you individually below.
Great POV.

I react to any kind of smoking but pot is the worst. Folks are pushing hard for it to be legalized everywhere in the U.S. I think we are heading for another medical crisis with it just like we have with opiodes (I think that's how you spell that). Not to mention what it's going to do with driving records. I keep thinking, "Didn't we learn anything from the 70's?" Apparently not. But I'm glad the episode did not overwhelm your daughter. Do you have a way that you can get clearance to go in before others so she doesn't get exposed like that?

@olivetreeann pot-smoking is not legal here, but it's not prosecuted for individual use and is sort of heading to legality, but not for dealing, so it's pretty ubiquitous. These are free tickets, so you have to queue so she wouldn't get clearance. I could have joined the people I know at the head of the queue which would have got us in earlier, but that's queue jumping and I didn't want to do it.

Interesting processing, I like the tone and that it looks like smoke coming from the tower.

I think the contrast of the church against the housing makes this shot.

Interesting building & processing!

So sorry to hear that story, what a shame. Hopefully another time it won't happen.
I used to go to this church many moons ago and in my teenage years attended concerts after the evening services downstairs in the basement. It was brilliant! Nostalgia.....

So sorry that you had that experience. That is most unfair. Lovely shot of All Souls though.
