Stormy skies

  A photograph taking during a lunchtime walk last week – taken from what remains of the East India Dock on the north side of the River Thames in London, looking south towards the O2 Arena on Greenwich Peninsula – I had intended for it to be a long exposure shot – the wind was…

Hidden Elephant…

…next to the Thames Path in Rotherhithe! Saw this elephant hiding in a garden above me while walking along the Thames path last week – I was walking from Bermondsey to Canada Water (not by the most direct route!) for a sunny lunchtime walk scouting for future photo possibilities – I could so easily have missed…

Dar Młodzieży

  This is one of the main ships here for the Royal Greenwich Tall Ships Festival, the Dar Młodzieży – a Polish sail training ship – I think I am right in saying that this was one of the largest ships here (~109m long) – so much so, that she had to be berthed in the Thames accessible only…

Tall Ships

  This was the view at Wood Wharf Canary Wharf, London this morning at around 08:00 – beautiful light on a sensational day.  I love the light in this photograph and the backlit sail – utterly glorious! The ships are here for the Royal Greenwich Tall Ships Festival taking place across four sites along the Thames…

Thames Barrier

  A long exposure photograph of the Thames towards the Thames Barrier (visible just below the horizon) – Woolwich in the distance on the far side of the river, and Charlton on this side – taken on a lunchtime walk last Friday, starting from Greenwich North and joining the Thames Path on the east side…

River Thames from East India Dock

Footpath Closed

This photograph was taken from the jetty at Morden Wharf on the Thames Path between North Greenwich and Cutty Sark – this was a lunchtime walk which turned out to take a little longer than I had planned…there were so many interesting things to stop and take pictures of – I could have taken all afternoon…and…

Looking back at Canary Wharf

  This picture was taken on another lunchtime excursion – this time to North Greenwich (one stop on the Jubilee line) and, with the Millenium Dome behind me, looking back at Canary Wharf (and yet another Thames Clipper…they get everywhere!)…I love this shot, but it could be better – because it was taken resting on…

North Greenwich View

  This photograph was taken one lunch time a week or so back, looking across the Thames from the Isle of Dogs towards the Millenium Dome/O2 Arena at North Greenwich – it’s a short way from the office at Canary Wharf – I have been running down the Thames Path here for a few weeks…
