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…

Canadian War Memorial, London

  Also discovered in Green Park, a short distance to the north-east of Buckingham Palace, we came across the Canadian War Memorial – extremely poignant as in Canada, Monday was Memorial Day. The centre line of the memorial lines up with Halifax, Nova Scotia, the port through which most Canadian military personal would have passed on their…

Please sir…can you spare any food???

  This little fella came up to within 1m of me in the middle of Green Park last Friday evening – I’ve seen them climb people in Regents Park to get crisps…and I don’t doubt that he’d have done the same if I had had some food with me!  As it was I didn’t, but…

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…

River Windrush…slowed down…

This is a photograph of the the River Windrush taken at Minster Lovell in Oxfordshire – a mostly bright day, with clouds for extra interest! While not a waterfall (I don’t know of any nearby), the river is quite turbulent, so lends itself to a long exposure as I did here – I took several…

Spring has sprung!

This photograph was taken in the Wychwood Wild Garden in Shipton-under-Wychwood – a fantastic day – sunny, clear blue sky, temperatures above 20˚C on Sunday 16th March 2014. We had just been to The Lamb Inn in Shipton for lunch (recommended!) – we ate a birthday lunch for my wife outside (pretty good for March in the…

Broadway Tower – two ways…

A special post this time round – two for the price of one (basically because I could not decide which one to use in this post – I like them both!) This is Broadway Tower, near Evesham, in the Cotswolds, UK – I’ve seen it in several guide books, but only recently discovered that it…

Old Oak Tree

This photograph was taken on the gloriously sunny afternoon of the 1st of March – the first day of Spring!  Unfortunately, the weather didn’t last and the 2nd day of Spring has been wet, windy and miserable…oh well! Still, a short walk in the sun shine resulted in some good images – the one shown…

Snowy Sheep

OK – so we’ve had no snow at all this year except for a few flakes that didn’t settle – I guess I am kind of disappointed, so I have pulled out a photograph I took around this time last year – I had taken the kids to school and stopped on the way back…
