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…

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 –…

Old Dock Cranes

These are some of the dock cranes (tripods) that remain as a monument in the Docklands area in London – there are eight that I know of: three at South Dock; three at the north end of Millwall Outer Dock and two at the west end of Millwall Outer Dock.  This photograph was taken of…

Merry Christmas!

This is a shot I took recently in the shopping Centre at Canary Wharf to capture the feeling of Christmas…I was hoping for some shots with reflections in the baubles, but those didn’t work out to my liking this time round.  Anyway, this one is great – I like the bokeh (out of focus lights)…

Ghosts on Westminster Bridge…

Gloriously moody twilight sky in this photograph – taken last year during a weekend stay in London – long(ish) exposure of 2s to allow the lights of the cars and buses to blur and get just an impression of the people walking by. Technical Details: Nikon D80; 2.0s;f/13@22mm (18-70mm;f/3.5-4.5;Stock lens);ISO400 – Camera mounted on Red…
