ON THIS DAY . . . (haven't done one of these in a while) in 1091, London was hit by a massive tornado, measuring T8/F4. It's the first ever recorded tornado in the UK and destroyed churches, houses and businesses. Even London Bridge, which was made from wood at the time, was destroyed. It's estimated that 18,000 people inhabited London at the time, all witness to the twister that tore through, and even though around 600 were left homeless, only 2 people were killed.
This fueled a tornado theme for Pic of the Week, and I found artist Mark Bryan whose work, I think, verges on a combination of reality vs dreamscape. I really liked this piece for its imaginative simplicity.
You can see more of Mark's work on his website and prints are available to buy.
Enjoy and have a great weekend :)
