this is *my* morning wake-up call
This is a (rather fuzzy camerafone) pic of Alexandra Palace – a familiar sight to regular users of the East Coast Mainline and a useful reminder that Kings Cross is less than ten minutes away.
Its also my personal pick-me-up when I’ve been up since five to catch the train from Leeds and have a packed day ahead of me chasing round London. Why? Well, as the sun rises and the mist from the lake below gently clears, the glass roof goes all sparkly and lovely.
I can’t find a decent illustrative shot on flickr (this one comes closest) and all my best efforts to capture it myself have failed, so you’ll have to trust me that its all it takes to bring a smile to my face and a spring to my step.
