Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge

 As the weather forecast was for continuous heavy rain, we changed our plans and visited the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge instead. Jane wanted to see the Made in Ancient Egypt Exhibition but I had plans for a session trying various techniques to depict the modern architecture of the museum. David Roberts was commissioned to design an annexe alongside the main museum in 1973 which contained new gallery space and an accessible entrance.

The first 5 images are single exposures - the blue and yellow tones are from daylight and artificial lights; not sure where the purple has come from on the spiral staircase. The second set of 6 images are double exposures done in camera

Tunnels and Staircases

We explored several tunnels and staircases during our walk from Woolwich to North Greenwich, many of them going under the Woolwich Road to what were the factories. The last image shows the only remains of that era, the tall chimney just about opposite where my great aunts lived (now a play area). The last staircase is the Premier Inn in Woolwich.
