How many of us appreciate the hidden gems in life?
By gems I don’t mean diamonds, I mean those beautiful little moments in life that make you smile.
Like seeing the sun shine through a spiders web…or the morning dew on crisp winter’s grass:
I personally find great joy by surrounding myself in nature and I love to capture it’s beauty through the lens of a camera.
I find it sad when people disregard their surroundings or think that they are immune from taking care of the environment by refusing to clean up after themselves.
But nevertheless, the world is beautiful!
Earlier this week me and my dad took a trip into London.
Most people are very familiar with the popular attractions, such as;
Big Ben,
The London Eye,
Houses of Parliament etc etc…
But no one really talks about the other amazing things to see there that go unnoticed…
Like all the beautiful buildings and architecture…
The opportunities to travel and explore…
the obscure side streets… 
The street entertainers… 
The nature … 
And the simple fact that the statues have serious attitude! 
(This one is clearly thinking “AM I BOVVERED THO.”)
There is all sorts of beauty to be found and, even if you’re not so good at this, there is also a lot of humor to be found! I thought it was rather amusing when I scrolled through my pictures at the end of the day and found not one and not two but three photo bombs!
Firstly the birds who claimed the glory from the statue and his noble steed by sitting on their heads:
Then the obliviously chilled-out kid who was most probably whistling to a very annoying tune:
…
…
And then this rather rough looking man who looks like he may have just committed crime!:
…
…
(Well, they made me chuckle anyway!)
So, maybe next time when you are out and about, try and look at things from a slightly different perspective. Seek to find the beauty in everything or, if not, the humor! And I guarantee you will have a much better experience!
Peace and love
