A genre of books I’ve always loved are the ones where there are a hidden version of the city, which is invisible for most people. Think books like Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere or Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series.
One of the reasons I probably like this genre so much, is that I have always loved to explore the more hidden parts of the city.
Case in point, I was walking around yesterday, and came across a passage that took me into a sort of court yard, where I found this magnificent thing. It is not the first time I have seen this (last time sans disco ball), but it was years ago, and I couldn’t remember where I had seen it?
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Sorry to sound as deep as a spambot, just felt like responding but don’t have much to say.

Their right side is a lot happier about the disco ball than their left side, which looks seriously affronted.
I love unxpected discoveries like this too.
