Regno Unito, Londra, Royal Victoria Docks, Autunno 2013
London Docklands è una zona a est e sud-est di Londra. Questi moli erano parte del porto di Londra, un tempo il più grande porto del mondo. Essi sono stati utilizzati fin dall'epoca romana. Una volta, i lavoratori portuali formavano comunità locali molto affiatate e con proprie culture distintive e dialetti. Per la scarsa comunicazione questi erano sostanzialmente isolati dalle altre aree che formano Londra. La London Docklands è stata bombardata durante la seconda guerra mondiale, e fu colpita da oltre 2.500 bombe. Tra il 1960 e il 1980 a causa della containerizzazione, tutti docks di Londra sono stati chiusi, lasciando circa otto miglia quadratie di terreni abbandonati in East London. Negli ultimi anni si è assistito ad una rivalorizzazione di questo territorio per uso commerciale e residenziale.
London Docklands is an area in east and southeast London. The docks were formerly part of the Port of London, at one time the world's largest port. They were used since the Roman era. Once, the dock workers formed a number of tight-knit local communities with their own distinctive cultures and slang. Poor communications meant that they were quite remote from other parts of London and so tended to develop in some isolation. The London Docklands was bombed during the Second World War, and was hit by over 2,500 bombs. Between 1960 and 1980 because of the containerization, all of London's docks were closed, leaving around eight square miles of derelict land in East London. They have now been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use.

Self isolation can be a lonely experience. Remember to check on the welfare of vulnerable friends during difficult times.
Who says landscape photography has to be reality when in miniature it can come from the imagination. From fairies at the bottom of your garden to 'the borrowers' we are obsessed with the fantasy of little people in a
full-sized world. My 'downsizing' project, using model railway figures, food and everyday objects, is merely an
extension of those thoughts.
Week Four HDPD In Isolation competition entry. STROBE INFO. Two speedlights and taken with a single shot. One to the right and behind at board level firing through an oblong soft box at 45 degrees, also modified by a single white sheet which creates a feathered light from the back to the front. The second speedlight is beside the camera left and low pointing to the centre of the black pieces.
“Fantasy love is much better than reality love. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.”

Pic taken yesterday evening.. another isolated evening. Felt positive to see colourful kites all around. I am sure things will be back to normal soon, but I wish this time people learn what the nature trying to deliver the message.. SLOW DOWN.
Visited Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield last week for the first time. Took this minimalist, abstract shot of the building from the beautiful gardens, which happened to include a masked visitor admiring the view from the window.
This is another version of the same Toronto's city hall I posted earlier.
