South Dock @ Night, Canary Wharf
The last time I was in Canary Wharf was almost two years ago. Days before the first lockdown began. I'd gone after work to try and get some nice shots with my new(ish) wide angle lens of the Newfoundland Building and of the new builds around the South Dock and Wood Wharf. When I arrived some of them were still in the process of being completed and a stiff breeze was whipping up the water in the South Dock making reflection shots impossible. But I remember sitting in Cabot Square waiting for it to get dark a little more and watching as office workers were saying to each other 'see you after the lockdown' as they all went to work from home for the next few months. In the end I got a few shots and went home.
So I returned recently with the same lens on a sharp, clear and mostly still winters evening to try and get those shots again. The new buildings around the South Dock are now complete though Wood Wharf (right of centre) is still a construction site. But Park Drive and 10 George Street in the middle of the photo are now finished. These as well as other buildings here are apartment buildings instead of offices. This shot was taken at the end of the South Dock in front of the Dollar Bay apartment building. Various boats of the Dockland Scout Project are moored up on the right. This view I think is one of the most impressive in Canary Wharf.
