Ephemeral Memorial to Di

Due to an odd twist of fate, on August 31, 1997, we were flying into London when the pilot announced that Princess Di had just been killed in an auto accident. That week, in London, was a surreal experience. The flowers piled up outside of Buckingham Palace, and Herrod's department store had flowers stacked 5 feet high entirely around a building which occupies a city block. Grown men were crying in the streets. We came across the above sidewalk artist in Covent Gardens creating a beautiful image, which would only last until the first rainstorm-- a short lived creation, which Di herself was.
