Greetings,

We recently met up, myself and @molometer, in London for a chilled day of coffee and chat. I guess you could call it a Hive meet-up, since we’re both old school Hivers from back in the Steem days. Funny enough, it was the third time we’d ever seen each other in person, but we both felt like we’ve known each other for much longer. I guess that’s testament to the community that forms on such platforms as this. We also share a lot of common interests, which made for a lively and varied conversation. We thought we should have just recorded our convos and published them as a podcast. I certainly learned a lot from some of the brainstorming for sure.

Aaaaanyway, you came here to look at photos, so photos you shall have. Well, you’ve already seen the photos since I’m publishing via Liketu.com which displays the photos first, as that’s the priority.

It had been ages since I’d been to Canary Wharf. Like most parts of London these days, a lot has changed since I was last there. I expected the change, but even then, I was still blown away by how much has changed. There are brand new towers of metal and glass all over the place. There used to be some open clear space back in those days that are now obstructed by sky scrapers. To be fair, back in those days, there were cranes and construction foundations being laid. It was just amazing to actually see them there.

It was a lovely day with a lot of sunshine, even if a bit windy and slightly cold as a result.

Peace & Love,

Adé

Good to see you guys meeting up again. We need a bigger London meetup some time. I know a few people are up for that. I've not been around that area lately, but I know it's changed. Seems some companies still have plenty of money to throw into building projects. The London skyline is very different compared with a couple of decades ago.

!PIZZA

It was nice to be in that area with someone that grew up there. I used to work around there 15 years ago, so a lot has changed since then, but I was able to learn how it was there when @molometer was a kid.

I should probably be more active in organising a London meetup since I live here. I'm going away in a couple of days. When I get back perhaps we can look at something in November or December.

It would be cool to get some old photos of such places and show how they look now. Some people do the cool thing of holding up the old one to line up with what is there. I do have some old pictures of our village, so I could do a bit of that.

Enjoy your trip.

!BEER

Thank you. I'll try. :)
