Photography
There are plenty of people who would suggest that you can't shoot architecture with a 35mm and you need a 24mm or wider.

Just had to love the warm, low sunlight as I made my way to work this morning, and thought I'd share a couple of shots with the world... The first is of the window to the Market Cafe in Broadway Market, with the Gasometer beyond. the second is of Carnaby Street in Central London.
