Old Man River 1

Walking down the towpath along the Greenwich peninsular. Very bright and very cold but some haze because of the low sun. This shows up in some of the photos as flare. The area is changing very fast. Some of the path is inaccessible because of the apartments being constructed necessitating detours through building sites. I wonder if they will ever be able to sell them since the market is so fucked. I had the Bessa with the CV 35/2.5 and the FM2n with the Nikkor 105/2.5 and shot some rolls of FP4x at box speed. The CV 35/2.5 had a medium yellow filter, the Nikkor a polarizer.

On the way up to the Dome (OK, the O2… ) the tide was right in. Had a coffee and a natter with Jeff at the tea hut outside the Dome. On the way back the tide was right out. There is one part of the river where it looks like they break up old boats and clambering over the piles of frosty sheet-metal in the name of art was slippery fun (lets see if that gets googled hehe).

Beached remains:

Hidden (and flared):

Welcome to the building site:

Sugar missiles?

Walking along,

there were several shapes that attracted me on the river walk. Structures and light and shadow.

Sides of boats (ships?):

Reminds me of Dick Tracy for some reason…

See Canary Wharf  in the distance like some sort of perverted rennaissance background:

Slippery sheet metal (nice bokeh):

The Marchioness was scrapped at the spot where I took this photo. The hull lay
around for ages.
