This is what I see out of my study, looking WNW. When I’m procrastinating or in need of help, I try to tap into the creative vibe of the Arsenal Tavern, the largish Victorian building towards the middle of the picture (with three big upstairs windows). It used to be home to small groups of clever Irish pensioners who would cluster around the bar and discuss football tactics/formations/horseracing/poetry. To the right of the frame are the trees of Finsbury Park. Moving left, and hidden behind the block of flats, is the mast of Alexandra Palace. Then it’s Highgate and far off to the left hand corner, Hampstead. If I added a soundtrack to this pic it would possibly be the low rumble of Seven Sisters Road, countless police sirens and the occasional police helicopter. But often it is just quiet.
