Take-off
Parakeets
After the Serpentine Galleries we walked back through Hyde Park to the Lancaster Gate tube station, not too far from where I lived in Bayswater in the ’80s. We were stunned to see a lot of parakeets fluttering around until one of our Indian classmates explained to us that they had arrived here some years ago, escaping the homes of Indians in England who had brought them from someplace in India where they’re common.
Serpentine
I’m assuming this is the Serpentine. Read the full story of these Kodachrome slides of my father’s restoration here.
The Gathering
Back in the day it was Londoners rather than tourists. Methinks Boris would do well here. Kodachrome by my father sometime in 1955-56 while he was in the (US) Army – full story here.
