    This guitar here, took my eye...
    I asked how much it sold for after it went, and he said £7, 000.00
    I thought it was worth every penny, THEN, he went on to say
    'because that was Keith Levene's guitar'
    and I was like who?
    and he was like
    'The guitarist from The Clash...'
    and I was like
    'Okay'...

    My part of Soho on a real precise technical level to an office on Greek St, a job on Mannete Street at The Borderline and a childhood on Denmark Street oblivious to Soho but I feel at least half of Soho to the West of this map (basically Old Compton Street to the alley to Brewer Street / Soho Original Books) is mine and Chinatown to the South; even if I went back for work reasons (construction) in 2018 and rebuilt what I knew and felt bad about it since now now more and sucked imo since 2016 which was cool since I got out then too - This is my part of Soho on a real level.
    Then Brexit Happened.
    June 2016
    I was fresh off the boat from a weekend in Amsterdam my second time to the continent and to Amsterdam and we voted to leave the EU and I went to London with a friend to this LGBT Black Pride 2016 event with an Ebony Lesbian good friend of mine who I went to Amsterdam with in my Ebony Lesbian Crew (I'm Str8 white male if that matters anything) but it's my crew and I love them to pieces even like a sister since my sister type girl (good friend called me her brother and she my sister for a bit) Ebony Lesbian gave me a break from Gangster B' this gangster chick I fell for who she introduced me to) so I'm with my good friend in Vauxhall

    Christania DM is editor-in-chief of AZ Magazine. UK Black Pride 2016 is a free event on Sunday the 26th of June, at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens in London,
    strolled back afterwards and saw my friend laughed saying I acted like a tourist but I captured;

    I call this The Scream

    Can you believe this was taken in June?!
    Height of summer, still get a spooky picture like this, that was cool, but this picture set the tone that was fresh in the air from Brexit.
    With all the Brew Ha Ha I retreated back to Thornton Heath with Grandma

    Also, I recognised a car I saw after work one day; like seeing a famous car; so I was all taking pictures of it, other people joined and I managed to get someone to take a picture of me with it;

    Only because I recognised it from some tabloid.

    Random, the things I've worked on though, the landmarks that have my blood sweat and stuff on them right... I didn't work on any that day but the cool things I worked on in my hometown include The Shard, The Gherkin, Abbey Road Studios and a whole lot more; love it.

    Where are you from?
    This is what passes as an horizon for me;

    This is sunrise one summer's day in 2016 I believe.

    This and more is why I couldn't post about my local nature in the beautiful nature thread.
    Well, maybe I've got one or two pictures I'ma post there.

    Enjoy!

    Where are you from pictures by you.

    Also, I'm British so when Grandma got to meet a prince, and us being close, I was her plus one, so I got to take my Grandma to meet Prince Harry in 2016

    Don't lol, but I choose a pink tie because it was a party and I didn't want to get political at a garden party at Buckingham Palace; which ruled out
    Red/Blue/Green/Orange
    But... I the suit I rented/they had was grey, so I didn't want to get yellow, so pink it was; turned out great still; I call this pic 'Happy and Glorious' because it's a part of the anthem here, and this is Buckingham Palace and my Nan was happy and glorious herself, hence the title. :)
