at sunrise on a freezing morning a couple of weeks ago. a nice peaceful scene on the river while behind the camera a hundred thousand people cross london bridge in an unbroken stream six deep from the station...

Photoblog: 02 Mar 2010

Stumbled upon a set of unstitched jpegs while looking for something that might be useful for a webpage header, so I gave it a quick run through autostitch. My experience of autistitch, though, is that it's fun, but just a toy.

This set is from an early morning at Derwent Water last year. Have y'all been looking at the awesome pictures of the lakes in the snow in the Cumbria pool?

And it has only now occurred to me that I must have a dozen more sets of unstitched jpegs lying around to play with...

Photo # 10,000 in the photostream!

Well, not really. Photo #10,000 was reached long ago, since I started out on flickr just uploading any -- and every -- old crap I shot. I've since been both more selective in what I put in, and occassionally cutting some of the crap that's already in. So this morning I cut 15%, and I think I'll have go at a further 25% of what's left when I get another free moment...

...the newest skyscraper in a skyscraper-lite city. Last time I went out that way, it was a wee little four storey structure. From the office, it's hidden behind one of the Barbican towers, so I hadn't realised quite how it'd grown. Soon it'll be peeping out above the Barbican, I suppose...

Greenland Dock

Large version - Comment at flickr.com

Photoblog: 10 Feb 2010

Sunrise this morning. I froze my fingers getting this. As you can see, the dock is not an inconsiderable body of water. It was designed for ocean ships (albeit not of today's scale), and would have assumed that it contained salt walter, though I suppose it may have been years since the lock fully opened to exchange water with the Thames Estuary, and it may well be fed fresh water from culverts and storm drains. Even so, frozen water means it's cold. (Something to bring you back to reality after that last warm sunny summer shot from the archives.)

Photoblog: 04 Feb 2010

St Andrew Undershaft is a Church of England church located at St Mary Axe, in Aldgate ward of the City of London, near the Lloyd's Building. It is a rare example of a City church that has managed to escape both the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the Second World War bombing during the London Blitz of 1940-1941.
