475. Kentish Town Road (1), Camden

I really did enjoy my recent tour of Camden Town, and one of the first pieces I saw was this lovely Dan Kitchener work in a tiny car park area off the Kentish Town Road. The three walls were festooned with street art, but this piece had pride of place along the entire length of one wall.

Whenever I see Dan Kitchener’s works I am reminded of the book by Judith Kerr, ‘the tiger who came to tea‘. I can’t really explain why, but there is a street picture in the book which I think of every time I see Dan’s work.

I can’t really get enough of his extraordinary murals, which is a good thing really, because they are everywhere…more to come soon. 

Spring rain

 

After heavy rain

the smell, that wonderful smell

rises from the earth.

Seed selection

 

Killing time, waiting

for the rain to stop, choosing

what seeds to plant next.

Relentless

 

Since dawn, the sad rain

leaves its depressing stain on

all that it touches.

Flood

 

All hands to the pumps!

This Winter’s rallying cry;

more records broken.

Last day at work

 

I’m soaked to the skin;

damp clothes release that dank smell.

I want to go home.

Barbecue Summer

 

Heavy rain again;

another Summer washout

testing my patience.

11/30 Fishing

When it rains it rains

and boy, did it rain today

but the fish don’t mind.
