Brollies, steps, doors & benches

A week of wondering around taking relatively few photographs. This roll seems to have a concentrate of my fave subjects…
I can’t resist a broken brolly, especially in such a dramatic setting. A broken brolly implies some sort of drama anyway.
There are plenty of benches on the roll

Steps… to nowhere?

Light, dark and zombie dawn

Walking in the evening with the dog gives me the excuse to photograph in interesting light.
I was using a medium red filter on the Summicron to photograph some dramatic sunset clouds from Point Hill but took this of Kate facing the sunset. It looks like she is the spectator at a nearby nuclear explosion, or...

Reflections and mirrors

Laban in Deptford is such an obvious place for reflections. It has huge mirrored windows that give really interesting perspectives on the surrounding area.
I assume the window glass is really high quality because it is not easy to tell which side is real and which is the strange mirror world. Sometimes there are obvious clues...

And then I hit beautiful recursive paydirt. Under the railway arches between Deptford station towards London Bridge there is...

St Alfege evening

I’m drawn like a fly to this strange graveyard with its compelling gravestones and multi-functionality.
There is a little shrine that I’ve noticed before and there has been some activity recently.
The ground is carpeted with cherry blossoms creating some ambiguity. I’d like to know more about it.
And there are of course the graves which for me...

A day walking

Photographically it has been a busy day. I usually walk the dog up to Point Hill. Recently the Greenwich Phantom had a blog post ‘The best view in London‘ (shortly after mine…) and used the word ‘country lanes’ which sounds paradoxical but hey, it is true
The day was spectacularly bright and sunny and warm and...
