Another photograph taken just as the sun was rising and just clearing the horizon at the Thames Barrier – glorious colours from the sun and in the sky in contrast with the blackness and hard edges of the Barrier! Taken from the west side of the barrier, on the north side of the river from…
I stayed in London at the TravelLodge at City Airport on Tuesday night for an office Christmas party. I got up before sunrise the next day (though still got a lie-in compared to the normal time I need to get up to catch the train!) and headed down to the Thames Barrier – this is the…
A photograph taken in Hyde Park yesterday after a particularly cold start (-3°C at home), though here in London it was probably only around freezing. Still, it made for some frozen grass and a nice mist – and it looked great with the low sun through the trees. Edited in Lightroom 5.6 – adjusted white…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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…
