Gherkin, London 06

Reflected here in the windows of a nearby office block, the new Swiss Re building in the City of London is affectionately known as the 'Gherkin'. Standing some 180m (590 ft.) tall this unique structure dwarfs most other buildings and is a unique and characteristic addition to London's skyline.

It sits comfortably with a variety of architectural styles and structures

Here They Come

Four biplanes in formation at an airshow, trailing smoke as they turn together towards the observer; against a cloudy backdrop.

Through a Glass Darkly

Slightly obscured and distorted face seen through a glass; specular highlights partially conceal. Amused expression.

London Bridges, from the Thames

A downstream view of the Thames in London from, er, underneath the next bridge up from Blackfriars.

Thames Sunset

One of the very few places where you can see a sunset over water, in the east of England -- over the River Thames. This shot was taken close to Tilbury, one evening in October.

This image is presented exactly as it came out of the camera, the only work being a conversion from RAW with default settings.

London Eye

An echo of blue evening light, in the London Eye.

A 'letterbox' crop of something vertical -- but the colour is really the subject, not the eye itself.

No Sailing Today

Sailing boats on a jetty, seen through a rainy window

Do these aerials stand a snowflake's chance (sorry) of working?

A well frozen up mast covered in frozen aerials / antennas and dishes; spotted on a mountain peak in Canada.

Fireworks 2

Fireworks -- or palm trees, perhaps? Would make a good Christmas card or greeting card

Steerage Redux

Title: "Steerage" 2005

Well, not really steerage, but passengers on deck during a Thames pleasure cruise.

The ship is the PS Waverley, the World's last seagoing paddle steamer.

Inside The Gherkin Dome

Rare and unusual viewpoint of the new Gherkin building in London -- from the inside of the dome at the very top of the tower.

London City Buildings

Two City buildings in London, against the sky. One is the so-called 'Gherkin'.

Opening Rose

This is a rosebud that managed to separate itself from a bunch of flowers which had been given to my wife. After a few days in a glass of water, in a sunny place, it opened beautifully.

Breakfast Table 1

Breakfast table set with flowers, bread, butter and crockery.

Alternative crop to Breakfast Table (2) -- the two each have quite different merits

Red and Yellow Flower

Erm, here's yet another flower. Don't know what it is, but the colouring is somewhat unusual and that's what first caught my eye.

Gherkin, London 01

The new Swiss Re building in the City of London is affectionately known as the 'Gherkin'. Standing some 180m (590 ft.) tall this unique structure dwarfs most other buildings and is a unique and characteristic addition to London's skyline. It sits comfortably with a variety of architectural styles and structures

Gherkin, London 03

Not every building in the City is easily dwarfed by the London's new Gherkin tower. Some can stand up for themselves...apparently!

Low angle shot of the 580ft (180m) tower with a much smaller office building in the foreground.

Going up!

View downwards onto a hi-tech lift (elevator). Or, you could take the spiral staircase

Lift and spiral stairs

Hi-tech lift with a spiral staircase around it. Resubmit of "Lift and Stairs" with no people in the shot and slightly different framing.

Record Deck/Record Player

An LP record being played on a top-flight turntable. For the benefit of any Flat Earthers, the setup is: Linn LP12/Lingo/Cirkus/Trampolinn/Ekos/K9. And the record is by Sinatra.

To clarify, the soft focus is motion blur. LPs are never perfectly flat and this resulted in movement of both disk and tonearm. In the lower right-hand corner a zoom view will show that dust under the platter is perfectly in focus but the adjacent platter edge isn't. This is as intended.

Spoiled for choice at the Bar

One of the bars at the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia in London, 2004. There were some 400+ real ales on sale -- and lots and lots of handpumps.

Ormsgard Warrior

A member of Ormsgard!, the Dark Ages Theatre Group, in authentic costume and posing with a long axe.

Duck!

Well, I would -- if I wanted to keep breathing.

A member of Ormsgard!, the Dark Ages Theatre Group, in full costume and ready to take someone's head off.

A different pov shot, that not everyone who sees it, lives to remember

An axe to grind?

Another character from the Ormsgard! photo shoot, in authentic costume and showing an action pose.

I'd be getting out of the way pretty smartish

Ormsgard Trio

Three ladies from the Dark Ages re-enactment group Ormsgard! raise a ceremonial horn to the sky. No doubt it's charged with G&T;, er, mead.

Cake with Decoration

Closeup of a gold decoration on an iced cake. Its actually from my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary

Working Photographer

There are so many photographers to be seen around where I work, in central London, that they are now part of the landscape! So I have started watching and recording them too.

This smiling chap by the Lloyds building took it all in good humour and enjoyed the joke.

Battersea Power Station, London

London's famous Battersea Power Station, viewed from on the Thames.


(Renamed from 'The Pig's Day Off?'; hence the comment made by Reviewer No. 1

Boats, still dawn

Sailing boats moored on the Thames Estuary, during an early-morning high tide, between Chalkwell and Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.

(The pastel colours and high key/low contrast are as intended

Pier and Fair, Southend

The world's longest pleasure pier, at Southend-on-Sea in England, is some 2360 yards (2158 metres) long and a favourite with day-trippers to the coast.

See also 'Pier & Fair, night'.

Pier & Fair, night

Southend Pier; night shot taken from the same viewpoint as 'Pier and Fair, Southend'.

Fireworks 5

Fireworks

Reflections over the City, London

You could say 'Smoke and Mirrors, or even 'Mirrors in 'The Smoke'...!

From inside London's new Gherkin building, reflections from several internal glass walls create phantom images of other architecture in the Square Mile.

Fireworks 7

Fireworks. Shot taken over a stretch of water.

Thanks for viewing this image -- but please consider looking at Fireworks 2 and Fireworks 4 as they are at least as good!

Stairs and Lift

People climbing a spiral staircase around a hi-tech lift.

Thanks for viewing this image -- but please consider looking at Fireworks 2 and Fireworks 4 as they are even better shots

Big Ben

Just catching a little of the early evening sunlight

Plumb Lines

Pipes, valves and drain taps attached to a wall.

Roof lines

Two pitched roofs against the sky, in some brilliant early-morning sunlight. This caught my eye because of the strong brightness and colour intensity in both the sky and the end gable, and the contrast with the deep shadows.

This photo is unmanipulated, and presented exactly as shot.

White Office Building

Tower block looking somewhat surreal in bright sunlight.

Yet another Sunset

I don't care -- I have a favourite sunset to post, too!

A golden yellow sunset as seen across the Thames Estuary. Shot from the cliffs at Southend-on-Sea, Essex, on the balcony of the Alexandra Yacht Club.

Chairlift

Riding the chair in Whistler, Canada

On reflection I agree with the rater's view that the chair would be better centred; however I am leaving the shot un-cropped so that a picture Editor can make that choice for themselves. Cover the RH edge to whatever extent pleases you!

Kursaal, Southend

Slightly foreshortened view of the dome of the Kursaal, at Southend-on-Sea, seen behind part of the brick parapet.

The Kursaal is a famous amusement centre, once having been a full-sized fairground. It is a familiar sight to day trippers from London.

Canary Wharf London

View of tower office building through domed roof; Canary Wharf, Docklands, London.

Shot is direct from camera; no post-processing
