“In the deepening spring of May, I had no choice but to recognize the trembling of my heart. It usually happened as the sun was going down. In the pale evening gloom, when the soft fragrance of magnolias hung in the air, my heart would swell without warning, and tremble, and lurch with a stab of pain. I would try clamping my eyes shut and gritting my teeth, and wait for it to pass. And it would pass –but slowly, taking its own time, and leaving a dull ache behind.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood ... See MoreSee Less

Not the beginning of a lovely day - but still a beautiful photo - those huge, puffy clouds completely covering the skies are awesome - and what a view of the dark hills in the distance - the gently rippling waters and an endless line of the incredible, protective pillars (sorry - forgot what they're called) - love it!
Sounds like, feels like, (and looks like) today, Sunday, in eastern Ontario. I need another strong coffeeee

Anyone know if this is Borthwick’s Close?
Fantastic photo - how I love seeing these little alleyways - so amazing - everything just bursts with history (but I wouldn't be keen on walking through them in the dark!)
Great portrait of a very hidden but accessible city

This awesome photo in all of its black and white glory has captured a true beauty - love the magnificent building, especially seeing it featured with a cloudy sky and darkening landscape - truly amazing.
The sky looks very beautiful

Well done to everyone who spotted it was from the new Uniqlo shop. If you go upstairs and to the cafe at in the window, you can take this from the right hand side. Another correct answer is from BHS. For many of us, it will always be BHS 🙂
Your art is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing.
From this window?
