Miraculous corner



by Hypnose

  11.30 PM. Summer night. I'm sitting on the hill round the corner from my house. The atmosphere is warm and miraculous. I'm sitting on the hill in the park and whaching the happy couple in front of me, they are sitting close to each other looking at the wonderfull view towards Canary Wharf, the well known highest buildings in London. It seems nothing special but sometimes when I want to be alone I just come to this park on this hill and watching that view helps me to relax, to forget all my problems, and start to be happy. When i decide to leave that couple, I turned to another side where I saw one more glorious thing. About 10 miles to that way is the London city airport. Every 20 minutes you can see the planes, especially at night time when they are very high in the air, it looks like a star which is dropping down on the land, and when the sky is full of those small stars that wonderfull view make you feel so special. That miraculous corner you can find in one of the small London areas - Canning Town. I'm happy becouse my house is standing in one of the best places in East of London.
