Use the mood this image conjures to start a new piece of writing in today's exercise

Concentrate on the atmosphere. What time of day is it? What might the people in the picture be doing, thinking or feeling? What do the tones and colours suggest? How might you interpret the contrast between the grey of the pavement and the bright lights of the delicatessen window?

Try to recreate the picture in words.

Write for 20 minutes.
