I was amazed when I saw the view that was visible from a window that ran from floor to ceiling. There was even an armchair and table next to the window and I loved sitting at night watching the traffic. One of the buildings I really loved was the clock tower opposite - just out of view of this photo - which turned jade green at night, but only until about 11.30pm. As I slept in the bed nearest the window, the first thing I saw in the morning was this view! I regretted that I did not have time to paint it.
