Channel Crossing

Now for something a bit different! This photograph was taken back in June on ferry trip from Dover to Dunkirk – a slow exposure while panning from the rear passenger deck of the ship – it was a beautiful, still, sunny day – the smoothest crossing I can remember! Dover is somewhere out there on…

Super moonset

This photograph was taken a few days ago on the way to the station at the time of the super moon – just as it was setting – the sun was just starting  to rise directly behind me.  I love the subtle purple colours in the sky. Not much post processing done here except to lift…

Rollright Stones

After a long absence from this site, I’m back – work has been all consuming with some very long days and very little time for photography – however, that is now changing…for the better! The photographs here were taken a couple of weeks ago on a sunny Saturday – these are the Rollright Stones, near…

Le tour….encore

Two more pictures taken yesterday as Le Tour de France passed Canary Wharf in London. The two leaders at the time (though these were caught by the peloton soon after this).   And another shot of riders in the peloton  

Le Tour

  The Tour de France…in London. Lucky to have the Tour de France pass very close to the office on Stage 3 from Cambridge to London – the weather had been great all morning, but it rained several times during the afternoon…not least while we were waiting and even more while returning to the office…

London Skyline

A long exposure photograph taken from the Thames shoreline at low tide on a lunchtime trip to Bermondsey with the aim to get a picture like this.  Some familiar elements on the skyline – from left to right – The Shard, Tower Bridge, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Walkie-Talkie (20 Fenchurch Street),  Tower 42 (though I am…

Weekend retreat…

  …though only (unfortunately) for one weekend. Just had a great weekend staying in the Kasteel Westhove in Zeeland,  Netherlands – it is a hostel that has room for more than 100 people – we met with most of the family – great to catch up with those I have not seen for far too long…and…

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…

Something fishy…

  I discovered this Koi artwork yesterday during a lunchtime walk to Trinity Buoy Wharf, walking along Orchard Place, just off the Thames Path (NE extension) – the artwork is suspended in a small gap between two warehouses – while I have run down here on quite a few occasions, I had not noticed this…

River Thames from East India Dock

  This photograph was taken was taken from the Thames Path at East India Dock Basin – the dock is now a nature reserve, though the lock gates were renovated and are still in place maintaining the water level in the reserve.  This picture of the River Thames looking downstream – the Millennium Dome/O2 Arena…
