This is the view from Stave Hill, Rotherhithe, London looking from roughly north-east to south east. Amazingly, this man-made hill is only 10 minutes walk from Canada Water Tube station and, apart from Canary Wharf, you might not realise that you are in the London at all, let alone a city! Click on the photograph to…
This is an slightly misty, early(ish…about 08:00) morning photograph taken a week or so back -I spotted the top the mast as I came out of the Underground at Canary Wharf, so decided to take a look. This is the Super Yacht Christopher berthed at South Dock, Canary Wharf, London – the mast is little under…
…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…
This is Greenland Dock, Rotherhithe, London. Originally built between 1695-99, it was originally built for the refitting the ships of the East India Company – later, it was extended and linked with Surrey Docks (long since redeveloped and now is the site of Surrey Quays shopping centre). Most of the docks of Rotherhithe have been…
I went over to Canada Water for a walk yesterday lunchtime and walked round Greenland Dock – on the way back to Canada Water tube station, I passed this under a bridge walking back to Surrey Quays Shopping Centre from the north-west corner of Greenland Dock – certainly, if it is not a ‘Banksy‘, it…
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…
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…
This is a delightful way for Ilfracombe, Devon to remember the WW1 soldiers from the town. We came across these yesterday while wandering around the town. We were having a quick tour of various places along the coast of North Devon after dropping off my son at school in the area. These poppies have been…
Spent yesterday afternoon on a walk with my daughter, Freya, near home armed with boxes for blackberries, listening to music (you can’t really avoid it!) from the Big Feastival which is held a short distance away near Kingham. Picked enough for one full box of blackberries…and got lots of injuries (shorts weren’t such a great idea…
Met up with my friend Ola last night on the way home and stopped off for a coffee at Bar Italia (22 Firth Street) in Soho before walking on, cameras in hand, down to the Mall, Green Park and Hyde Park back to Paddington Station I took several pictures while we drank our coffee –…
