Merry Christmas 2014!

  A quick post to to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The photograph was taken in the foyer of the office at Canary Wharf – if you look closely, I am in (just!) the reflection of the main bauble – nice bokeh (though not quite as good as my shot…

Reflected Wharf

  This is a photograph that I took this lunchtime – it was taken from Wood Wharf, Isle of Dogs, London looking towards the offices in Canary Wharf. I have been wanting to take a shot like this for some time – obviously to be able to do this, you need water and over the last…

City of trees?

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!

Super Yacht

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…

Greenland Dock

  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…

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…

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…

Canary Wharf

This is Canary Wharf…or rather part of it – taken from Wood Wharf on a bright, but rather cold morning – 19th December 2013. This is a five shot panorama – the resulting image once stitched together in Photoshop CS5 was almost 12,000 pixels across – this gives a much better level of detail than…

Misty Docks

Taken recently down at Canary Wharf on a foggy morning from the easterly side of South Dock – the main part of Canary Wharf is hidden in the fog beyond the boats on the right had side of the photograph about 400m away – but looking at the photograph, you’d be forgiven for thinking it…

Metal and Wood

Hmmm…not doing so well with the New Years Resolution (which was to post photographs to this website more regularly)…so, without further ado, here is one of my latest! Taken a few days ago, it is part of a short study of a strange looking piece of artwork that has been installed at Canary Wharf –…
