Simply London

I didn't know what to write today: imagine you are in front of a little door and you see a crowd coming. They are approaching, but suddenly they get stuck at the threshold, because each of them want to pass first.

This is what happened to me: I have a list with all the things I would like to write, but they all are important to me, so it's difficult to choose!

Then I realise that I haven't already written anything about something I will love forever: London (and England in general).

 

Actually, I have written a post about England (click here if you are curious), but it was just a brief story of the beginning of my passion for that beautiful country.

 

I think it could be enough to put here some photos I took in 2013, like this one of the Tower Bridge

or this one of the Globe Theatre

I went to England also in 2014 and now I feel nostalgic because I would be really happy if I could go there as soon as possible. I notice that sometimes it happens to me to stop for a while thinking about the places I visited and I become melancholic, because I remember the emotions I experienced.

 

This summer, in July, I thought about the first time I went to England: it had been a wonderful trip, much more than a simple dream.

 

Everything seemed perfect, I was never sad, I savoured every moment, every second.

the National Gallery, the Tower of London, the Millenium Bridge)

 



It is just indescribable the amount of joy and astonishment I felt.

I believe that London is surrounded by magic, a kind of magic which can speak directly to my heart.

I visited other beautiful cities, like Berlin and Florence which leave something to me: Berlin represents the strength to carry on, to rise out of the ashes of a terrible past; Florence displays the genius, the power of art in all its forms.

But London is different.

Maybe it's because I have carried it in my heart for years as a dream and it finally became true. Even looking at these photos make me happy: I personally took them, I had been there.

Everyone has a special place.

Mine is London.

And yours?
