Thames Walk from Greenwich

We made our way on the DLR to Greenwich, which was very busy and they have now closed off Queens house area so you can no longer walk through the colonnades etc. So we decided to walk back to O2 area along the river - this proved a good choice as the overcast conditions gave soft muted colours and beautiful reflections - plenty of opportunities for four photographers. These are single exposures except image three which is a double exposure (I think!!).

Greenwich and the Thames Path

On Sunday, we visited Greenwich and I retook the view that I had taken on my father's camera in 1953 and repeated in 2017. We then walked along the Thames path to the O2 Dome - so many new building have replaced the derelict factory sites though the Catholic church and Power Station still remain.

Same view in 1953 and 2017

Greenwich - Theme Circles and Arches

Last post from Greenwich where the theme is definitely circles - an architectural favourite in the Queens House (1-3), Maritime Museum (5,6) , Painted Hall (7, visited vestibule only as being rennovated) and the Wren Chapel (4,8).

 

Greenwich Panoramas and Wide Scenes

Greenwich views and buildings invite a panoramic treatment. I was using both in camera panorama mode 1, 3 and 4, Lightroom stitches - 2 and wide-angle lens. As part of the day, we visited the Great British Seaside and I was particularly taken with the Simon Roberts images taken of crowds from high angles so hence some of the other images.

  

The Essence of Our Greenwich Trip in Infrared

Our Annual CCC coach trip was to Greenwich this year and, like last year in Brighton, it was very hot. Here a few images quickly converted from infrared to get an idea of some of the places that we visited. The infrared certainly gives the feel of the brightness of the day among the trees and how people occupy themselves in Greenwich Park in the scorching heat.
