Quit possibly. Did you miss the turning? You were near Brondesbury overground station but on the other side of the road heading in the direction of Shoot Up Hill. I was having a coffee in a cafe when you walked past. It took a few seconds to work out why you looked familiar from somewhere and by then you'd gone.

I couldn't find the turning so I walked up as far as the Sainsbury nearest Brondesbury and turned opposite there towards West Hampstead.

Hi Elise,

I saw you walking up Kilburn High Road a few days ago. My first youtube star sighting 8-)

Ah! On my way to a gig in West Hampstead!

I think he might have gotten much better pictures at an earlier hour, maybe as the sun was going down? I heard him say it was too dark. But that said, it's a pretty cool and unusual thing to do.

He would have but he was assigned 10pm to 11pm by the people who drew it. I feel sorry for the people up there at 3am!

I hope they freshly painted a small spot on the top so that the condemned... uh, those priveleged to stand on top would at least be able to watch paint dry.

Gosh, it all came together in the editing, didn't it?

At least I held the camera steady! :-)

Although it must be said that apparently the camera makes me gain five stone. It's odd - I don't think of myself as that fat. Time to diet, I suppose...
