London calling · 2005-11-27 20:50

My old old 58 London things site was mentioned in Time Out this week (thanks for spotting it, paul and candace); if anyone is here after seeing it, hello. Some of those photos are out of date, as things disappear and renew, number 25 in particular, from my last visit.

For the record, paul got 22 right on the first go – which I doubt even Time Out readers can beat. The point of the site was really to celebrate the little things – littlemarks – around the city, and to get people looking up and at odd angles.

If you liked 58 London things, you’ll also like the Guess Where London? pool on Flickr. There are also London Flickr meetups . I won’t be there, because I’m in Helsinki these days.

I was going to do 58 Helsinki things, but it’s a small town, and most people know it very well. There is a similar missä helsingissä? group that’s fun.

comments

I suspect that, just like everywhere else, Helsinki dwellers ignore the details of where they live. There was an article in the HS a while back about a guy who went around photographing towers around town who commented how so few look up from their shoes on the sidewalk to appreciate the sights….58 things in Helsinki would be doable.
