ATMOS BIKE HELMET

A green refuse bag outside Verde's.

The sign is old - quite how old, I can't say - but certainly early or pre-20th century. The writer Jeanette Winterson purchased this property and Verde continues strongly as a now very upscale retail establishment selling all sorts of delectable goodies.

The building itself is 18th-century and is in the heart of old Spitalfields, just down the road from Jack the Ripper's alleged local pub and the now forever spooky Hawksmoor church Christchurch Spitalfields. I tried to photograph that too, but was harrassed by the local working girls.

The vast power and wealth of the City have engulfed Spitalfields Market, which is now pretty much concretised and glazed with chain stores and Starbucks. Winterson wanted to preserve this old building with its wonderful sign, but her wonderful shop is another example of the urban renewal of the area. The working girls and Jack's ghost are probably being priced out as I write.

O verde mais lindo dos ultimos tempos *-*
Adoro esse tom, nem escuro demais, nem claro demais... a foto ta um tiquinho so fora da realidade ahuahu. Ele parece o angra dos reis, so que mais bonito ainda (humilde.. e olha que nem tenho o angra, e baseado so no que ja vi em fotos, hehe).
Como nada e perfeito, tive que passar 4 camadas pra nao aparecer o branquinho =/
