Sunset 13 December - Christine Goodings

What an extraordinary and fascinating experience.  I loved it.  I had thought I might be bored but I wasn’t for one moment, the opposite in fact.  I couldn’t stop looking at everything over and over.  It has been grey and damp out there and I didn’t once manage a glimpse of the sun but it was so atmospheric.  The wind turbines in the East rising out of the mist, the lights coming on the cars, buildings, Christmas decorations.  But the best part was looking down on people like tiny characters in a model village – except they moved, along with the birds and the never-ending stream of traffic.  It was interesting trying to identify different buildings and watch the route of the river and the roads.  And strangely, I felt a kind of responsibility looking out over the City.  A truly amazing experience.
