I am willing to talk about this for however long it takes me to understand what the fuck I'm looking at........
Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto, was an Italian painter who spent part of his career painting #London. From the year 1746 to 1756, he lived in London and painted 50 paintings of the growing city. This piece is 'The River Thames with St. Paul's Cathedral on Lord Mayor's Day', between 1746 and 1747. If you click on the image you will see how brilliantly he has captured the the north bank of the river which, like it's backdrop, had not long been rebuilt after the "Great Fire of London" in 1666. Despite being a time and place with incredible hygiene and health issues, if certainly looks far smarter than what dominates the skyline today.

The answer to the question "Have we let them down, or did they let us down?" is both. This image is alleged to be of a man on his way to seek shelter in a hostel on #Whitechapel Road in east #London during the 60s.
This blissful photograph captures a steam train chugging its way through the peaceful and homely homes of Kensal Rise, West #London, in March 1921.

The real reason men consciously seek out money, expensive cars, or even power is because subconsciously, all they really want is this..

It's only when we see England at her most beautiful or most damaged that we truly realise how much we love her. For the love of #doors 🚪
