Yesterday I took a walk.
Richmond Lock is now the end of the tidal stretch of The Thames. It's natural end was at Teddington a couple more miles up river, the name believed to be a corruption of Tide End Town.
For the last few days The Thames has been incredibly low. normally running well up the side walls it almost appears to be drying up.
The Kew Meridian is at The Kings Observatory. Modern time is always set from The Greenwich Observatory, but before it's establishment, The Kings Time was set from Kew. The line was actually taken from a transit of Venus. which makes it around 16 minuits out from GMT.

The Inner World

|
I often find the inside of flowers much more interesting than the outside.

Related to trees?
|
 |
|
Just a tree.
|
|
 |
|
Almost human.
|
|
|
I was taking photos in a local park and chose this because of the patterning on the trunk. I suddenly realised that upside down it had a tremendously human-like form. If I was a sculptor I suspect I might have been back in the night with a chainsaw.

Hi all.
Sorry, I've been neglecting things lately, but you know what it's like, thousands of things to do and the camera never in the right place at the right time.
Should be back on the ball from now.

Challenge 29 - The Absence of Colour
|
|
For me, Black and White has to be the medium for portraits. The starkness and shadowing always lend depth to the character and mystery of the person on camera. (Although I have to work a bit more on the light balance!).
This is one of the builders who works for us. Despite the reasonably posed stance he wasn't aware it was being taken.
