Comments on: Burdekin’s London Nights https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/12/06/burdekins-london-nights-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 Fri, 08 Dec 2023 18:09:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Laura Carr https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/12/06/burdekins-london-nights-i/#comment-1531041 Fri, 08 Dec 2023 18:09:15 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=198360#comment-1531041 Stunning photographs of long ago. It’s striking how clean everywhere looks with no crisp packets, cans or plastic bottles. It looks so peaceful too.

I had to confess that I needed to do some research into photogravures which was fascinating. The blue light really does resemble moonlight. You expect Bill Sykes and his dog to appear from a dingy courtyard.
I am also a night owl, but usually to watch wildlife rather than to wander nocturnal London.

backdrop for an Opera (can’t you just imagine the characters stepping into the scene, also bathed in deep blue?) I think of Duke Ellington, picking his way through “Mood Indigo”.

“You ain’t been blue
Till you had that mood indigo”

Ahhhhh, Sir Duke — Take us up to the stars.
