This display caught my eye in my Local TK MAXX store. Felt my blood pressure drop just looking at it. Hopefully it will bring you a sense of peace and calm too.

Thanks for visiting.

All the best.....

Took this while recceing this interesting movie theatre in Bromley. Hopefully I can return when the lighting conditions are more favourable ...

Stagecoach's 19834 pauses at a stop on the Hayesford Park Estate while on short turn to Bromley South on the 246.

While waiting at its home base at Bromley Common for a driver change I nipped out and took a shot of Stagecoach's 10162 on the 61 to Bromley North Station.

Second shot from my morning at members only Bromley House Library in Nottingham. There is a rule that unless there is a fire, only one person can ascend or descend this spiral staircase at a time.

I came across Stagecoach's 80416 turned off and seemingly abandoned, with doors open, in Bromley not long ago. I hung around for a bit before the driver came back with a sandwich and drink and then the bus headed off towards Bromley North Station presumably to start work on the SL3.

One of the exercises to boost your creativity or vision is to shoot in a place you are pretty familiar with. It may look like it lucks opportunities and general stuff which you think is necessary for taking a good street photo.

Why then would you waste your time shooting in unattractive or boring places?

As someone said, limitations or constraints spark creativity.

If you would want to make good photographs, your brain will work harder to help you out. Finding something new in your local high street will benefit you many times when your will be shooting somewhere else.

I live in London and believe that we, Londoners, are spoiled with opportunities. For me, it is pretty difficult to imagine living in a small city or town that does not have tourist places or a bubbling environment which makes up 80% of my street photographs. To step into someone shoes, I decide to try my luck at my local hight street.

Arriva's HA33 is Norwood Garage's allocated bus for school route 627 so as it's not got anything to do on a Sunday its been pressed into rail replacement work and is seen in Bromley prior to an all stop run to Brixton.

Not so 'Super' loop ENX10 has only the hazards working as it's been abandoned after giving up the ghost just before it got to Bromley High Street on the SL5. However, after a Dynes truck towed it back to South Croydon Garage it was patched up and was back on the road the next day.

The 1980s roof revamp failed on an original 1970s Mall. The Mall was never great, but this made it worse.

One of my favourite photographs; it has an inevitable abandonment feel.
