Staircases, big red numbers, and … trees!

40 Strand

Alastair wondered, in a comment, what this building is, as had I. Today, the weather looked good again, and having nowhere in particular to go, I thought I’d do what I hadn’t done earlier, which was...

Another pair of Egyptian geese

Perpignan photos

A year ago yesterday I was in St Cyprien, and a year ago today I was in Perpignan. However, I was in Perpignan again on January 9th of this year, when the weather was much better and hence so were my...

Reflections in blue sunglasses

According to my hard disc, I photoed this photo on October 6th 2004. I fefinitely photoed it with my ancient Canon A70. Not bad: Not bad. Clearly visible on the right spectacle lens, as we look, and...

Wuppertaler Schwebebahn

Via Ben Southwood: There is an actual bridge in among there, so no worries putting Bridges in the category list. But is the Thing itself a bridge? Wikipedia: Its full name is Anlage einer elektrischen...

An elephant on top of a bird

It’s still Friday, right? So, an elephant: Photoed by me in March of 2016. (I’m doing a lot of rootling in the archives just now.) The next photo is even less technically accomplished, but it does show...

Reflection

Not the sort you do inside your brain; the sort you can see: My photo walks tend to happen in the afternoon and early evening, after I have done morningy things at home. But today I took a quite long...

And we could also use more Ancientism

Yesterday I said Modernism isn’t going anywhere. Today I say that this doesn’t mean we can’t also have more Ancientism. Like this: That’s Photo thirty-five in the top fifty architectural photos that...

Low tide

April 26th was too sunny to be photoing statues (see below) but it was great for being down by the River, and midday was a time when you could get further down by the River (see above) than usual:...

Out east – one year ago today

I looked at what I was doing a year ago today, and came across these photos, of a great little expedition I had out east: My wanderings began at West Silvertown DLR, from which there is a great view of...

The first two photos on the old blog

I have resumed copying old postings over from the old blog to the New Blog. The situation with linking to the old blog has got worse. It used to be that it merely said “Dangerous” in scary red...

Five years ago today on the South Bank

Yes, another retro-photo-meander, on May 11th 2015 Photo 1: This doesn’t exactly nail down the date, does it? This could be a headline from any day during the last two decades. False, every time. The...

Out and across Lambeth Bridge

This afternoon, I ventured out of doors. What with the weather being so nice: Because public transport has recently been something that Non-essential Workers (apparently the world can do without...

Pigeon scaring spikes just beyond Tower Bridge

In the summer of 2012, I was on the far side of Tower Bridge, about to cross it and walk back home along the South Bank, and my photo-archive tells me exactly what I was seeing, and thinking about it....

Blackfriars buskers

All in the same spot, right near the southern end of the Blackfriars Railway Station Bridge. July 2015: September 2016: May 2020: Same spot. Different times.

New River walk with GodDaughter1 from Bounds Green to Enfield

On April 2nd 2016, GodDaughter1 and I went on a photo-expedition along the New River. It was most enjoyable, and I prepared another of those big photo-clutches that I could seldom bother to do on the...

A Blackfriars Ghost Columns photo from 2005

Way back in March 2005, I photoed this photo, of the Ghost Columns of Blackfriars: Not bad, I reckon, especially when you factor in the primitiveness of the camera I had then. The two last things on my...
