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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
