Comments on: Winter Light In Spitalfields https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/12/04/winter-light-in-spitalfields-i/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 04 Dec 2023 15:39:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Laura https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/12/04/winter-light-in-spitalfields-i/#comment-1530378 Mon, 04 Dec 2023 15:39:27 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=198354#comment-1530378 The light you captured by photograph reveals the palimpsest in every surface. Generally, sunlight is appreciated all the more when it is lacking, and it is no wonder as all life depends upon it.

But your photos revealed what may be seen when solid forms interact through the medium of light. In particular, the Fournier St reflections appear to be in holy script, writ large. What marvel!

Unfortunately the rainy gloom is unremitting here in Suffolk at the moment, which makes your photos all the more appreciated, thank you.

Note the date – taken by myself, as part of the “Images of England” project – now shamefully closed down by cheeseparing.

I was struck by light, angle and shadow when I visited Tyseley railway station on one of my journeys last week. Not quite the architectural giant that is Christ Church but a still a locally significant building. Each of your photos would make a great art print. Well done GA!

Thank you for these – we need benign light in December and, now, in the world in general.
Your Midwinter Light at Christ Church Spitalfields from another year is very beautiful.
