Wandsworth Bridge
I was late to the bridge so I didn't get the optimal shots, just the ones as the sun was disappearing off the horizon. However, of the many snaps I took of the sunset, I liked this one the most, simply because it captured the most.
A bus on the bridge, a plane landing. The lights on the bridge & the water flow. Most of the other 100 or so shots, only seemed to capture one thing at once.
I'll have to attempt this again at some point when the sun is still my friend, rather than the dark side.
Fading with Distance
What you're seeing here is actually a bench on the street. I've focussed on the engraved handle closest to the viewer. The other two are identical but look to fade with distance. I know, I know, who knew I could be such a philosophical ponce. 😉
Cross-Fire
Wikipedia tells of The Fiery Cross as the English language term for a piece of wood, such as a baton, that North Europeans, e.g. Scotsmen and Scandinavians, used to send to rally people for things (assemblies) for defence or rebellion (if beacons were not appropriate). We saw a fair few of these in Lewes.
What they are supposed to be defying or rebelling against is questionable today. Though a magnificent sight & defnitely an experience, much like many other festivals, I wonder what it is that is being celebrated.
Somebody on Twitter had mentioned Guy Fawkes Day as a celebration of Terrorism since 1606. Now there's a thought.
Just After Noon
It's turning 12:01 and the bell is still ringing the 12 chimes.
Taken outside Temple Church - I like the name as it ironically defines a unity of religions.
Striking Balance

Bad Baadals
The clouds were not making it easy this day to get good snaps. This one is my revenge upon them, as its the clouds that make this look good. Diwali aside.. this is Trafalgar Square.
A Stab at the Sky
Taken at Battersea Reach. Rule of thumb at the moment seems to be take 200 odd pictures & I'll get 30 odd semi-decent pics. 1 or 2 that I don't mind showing off. The aim is to obviously narrow that ratio down.
Here I maintained the focus on the odd metallic decorative piece to ensure the viewer doesn't get too lost in the awesome sunset. I think I've succeeded. On the flip side, I think the sky actually looks a tad grainy due to the lack of sun. The ISO was as low as I could have it in the lack of light, but that was still at the highest. *shrugs* .. I like it.
Bad Boy Roosta'
Spotted this Bad Boy when I dId a photowalk in Bandra, earlier in the year.
Finally getting round to looking at those photos, it does bring back vivid memories.
Leicester Square
- on Christmas Day, even this place is quiet & peaceful.
