This lovely Saturday started with a solo trip to the next coffee shop destination on the Timeout list, Kensington Square Kitchen, which is located behind High Street Kensington tube but in quite a tranquil setting.
The café was packed and full of the typical types of people you find in this area in West London- the family next to me were debating whether to go to Hermes or Gucci as the first shopping destination after brunch and the group next to me were debating what constitutes good art! Needless to say I felt very out of place on my own in the corner reading In Style.
The service was very slow however the coffee was good and the fruit salad I had for breakfast was very satisfying. After a quick walk around Gloucester road in the sun I met a friend to go and see the Wildlife Photographer of the year exhibition.
I had hoped this exhibition was going to be good, but good is an understatement, the images just absolutely blew me away. The visuals of nature in on world wide scale are amazing and some places in the world just seem too good to be true. Not only was the scenery amazing but the way these photographers were able to capture animals in their own habitats was just damn fascinating.
The range of animals was fantastic, from the smallest ants to the largest whales there were images of endangered species, tigers feeding in the wild and monkeys intimate family moments. Really made you stop and think about your place in the world.
If you are interested in seeing some of the images they can be found here: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit-us/whats-on/temporary-exhibitions/wpy/index.jsp
I must add some of the photos were taken by people as young as 11 which is even more unbelievable!
I have attached my favourite image from the exhibition and yes it’s a real place!
If you have any amazing images you have seen lately please share!
