Hope is beautiful

Day 3 (posted at the cusp of day 6). It's busy down Islington way on that Regents Canal. Shopping trolleys taking a dip and book shop barges and lots of street art. Hope is indeed beautiful, but as we found when we tried to 'beautify' another rather run down area of urban concrete, not everyone will think this is beautiful. Actually on days like these you don't need grafitti to brighten the place up - the sun is out, the sky is blue, everyone's chilling down on the water's edge with their babies and their beers. Shame mine is only a dash through it all on my bike there and back...
