I’ll be doing a lot less of this sort of thing, just wandering about in London, photoing at will: And yes, photoed on March 17th 2019, in and around Hay’s Galleria. Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, The Shard, all around there. Across the river, the Tower of London, no less. The last photo is of that … Continue reading Quota gallery from exactly one year ago
Today I met up with a friend, in even more central London. She had what looked like Soylent Green, in a glass. I had coffee in a similar glass, and a croissant. The croissant made me grateful, but not so much for how it tasted, more for how it looked. Which was why I photoed … Continue reading Colourfully painted croissant
In August I wrote here about the Helter Skelter that never was, in a posting that featured how it looked when they started (as they then thought) to build it. Well, in the course of rootling through the archives looking for a very different image, I came across several graphic after-echoes of this building. Even … Continue reading Modelled and graphic after-echoes of the Helter Skelter

The one that used to be called the Heron Tower, which they tried to … Continue reading Red staircases at the top of the Heron Tower
Yesterday evening I walked over to Battersea, to see how things are going with surrounding the old Power Station with apartment blocks, with sorting out the western end of London’s Big New Sewer, and constructing a new tube station. In the photos that follow, I concentrate on the new blocks of flats, not least because … Continue reading Battersea gallery
When GodDaughter2 and I took a walk through Hyde Park last week, we inevitably walked past the Serpentine, and next to the Serpentine, there was a lot of bird feeding going on, and I mean a lot. Great screaming flocks of birds, birds of all sorts all muddled together, were assembling themselves around happy humans, … Continue reading Feed the birds!
So I went to Foyle’s this evening, to buy this but got there too late, and then went food shopping in order to confer meaningfulness on an otherwise meaningless expedition. So then I was tired, but managed to write a posting for here, but then it turned into a Samizdata posting, which I will post … Continue reading So …
Today, in Lower Marsh, I met up with a friend for some friendly tech support, and this being Friday, both before and after that, I was on the look out for Cats and/or Other Creatures related photo-opportunities. I also like antique vehicles. So, I was delighted to encounter this: The Cat’s Back presents: Pig Out … Continue reading Pigs don’t pig out
