Trinity Buoy Wharf

We finally reached our second stopping point, Trinity Buoy Wharf, which gave some timeless shots of the Thames (without the Uber boats fleet or the IFS Cloud Cable Car in the distance!). I last visited in July 2020 (blue skies!!) when they were building the tall blocks behind Orchard Place so a few comparison shots. The famous diner has gone along with the cranes.

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

River Thames Lights

 We walked the Thames path from the Arsenal to the Ferry a couple of evenings photographing the Ferry and the lights of Canary Wharf.

Thames Path: Woolwich to North Greenwich

On Saturday mornning, we walked through Woolwich and out on the Woolwich Route where my Aunt's used to live now all demolished and at the moment in the midst of a whole new building phase. We then went down onto the Thames path and walked along as far as the O2 dome, taking images as we went. I was using Sony RX100 which has been converted for IR photography, which has brought out  great detail in the skies and ironwork
