I always find it so interesting how different everyone see spaces. Everyone who commented check your emails re zines. I'm sending everyone a zine. It wasn't really a competition but it seems people don't comment on blogs any more without a giveaway to encourage them into it. And I was quite keen to get some debate going! Anyone else got any thoughts? There's about 400 people a day visit this site. Would be nice if some of you said hi every now and then :) Thanks everyone for your great perspectives.

I love how culturally diverse it is- it's like going on a round the world holiday just by walking a few hundred yards. I never feel more confused about the hostility toward immigration when I'm there, experiencing all the brilliance the influx of foreign people have brought to England. I'm longing for a bit of the Japanism that brought Sushi to Melbourne though... Melbourne was more to my tastebuds. Hope you're well! I'm involving myself with the Craftivist Collective over here xxx .-= Rosa´s last blog ..<a href="http://mylittlestitches.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/developing/" rel="nofollow">Developing</a> =-.

I've lived here my whole life and I still turn corners and find unexpected patches of grass and trees and light... it makes me smile :) I live in Adelaide, and when I’m walking around the city, I love noticing how there is green impinging everywhere.

I try and remember to look at the sky a lot, to remind myself of what is more real than what we make important. I look for familiar faces, shop windows with books in them, people wearing interesting clothes and I make up stories about strangers. I think, I could have a studio/gallery in that empty shop and this street would be so much richer for it... when i walk through a city I think mean thoughts about cars, and appreciative thoughts about bicycles.

When I am walking through the city I think alot about the shapes and silhouettes of building and spaces. I actually find a certain stark beauty to urban landscapes, and am particularly inspired by the lines of cranes against the sky, particularly at dusk when the sky and the city are shapes and figures against one another. I could go on and on about it but looking up at these things makes me think about people and how we create spaces and how they can be beautiful (and horrible!). Cranes in particular make me think about their impermanence and transitory role in the construction of cities. thanks! Nicole Thanks for the great new additions to the city!
