First day of February; a blizzard had come through, but we were less impacted than other parts pf the country.
As much as I have snowy shots from Peggy's I also have a few from Prospect as well. I don't think I could ever tire of photographing my favourite places as everytime I get something completely different. I love the way the ice is breaking around the rocks in this shot and the light on the shacks in the distance.
The Prospect of Whitby is London’s oldest riverside pub dating back to 1520. The original flagstone floor survives and the pub also has a rare pewter-topped bar, as well as old barrels and ships’ masts built into the structure. The pub was originally frequented by lightermen, watermen and others who made their living on the river and at sea. It was a notorious haunt for smugglers, thieves and pirates. Famous customers include Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys, ‘Hanging’ Judge Jeffries and the artists Whistler and Turner. It used to be called The Pelican, but was also known as The Devil’s Tavern. Judge Jeffries lived nearby and a noose hangs by a window, commemorating his custom. According to legend, criminals would be tied up to the posts at low tide and left there to drown when the tide came in.
London seen from Primrose Hill. Carved quotation

We had a drive down to Dungeness yesterday.
This is Prospect Cottage former home of the late film director and designer Derek Jarman.
The shingle garden is probably at its best at this time of year.
Such a nice day for it as well.

Slide show of all my Prospect Park winter shots.
It stopped raining about 12:00 today...I quickly drove to York to get some cemetery shots. It started raining again when I was driving home. Thanks, vacation gods!
Prospect Hill Cemetery, York, Pennsylvania. (the half that I've never covered)

Nevsky Prospect is the main street in the city of St. Petersburg. It takes its name from the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, the monastery which stands at the eastern end of the street, and which in turn commemorates the Prince Saint Alexander Nevsky (1221-1263). Following his founding of Saint Petersburg in 1703, Tsar Peter I planned the course of the street as the beginning of the road to Novgorod and Moscow. The avenue runs from the Admiralty in the west to the Moscow Railway Station and, after veering slightly southwards at Vosstaniya Square, to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
Major sights include the Rastrelliesque Stroganov Palace, the huge neoclassical Kazan Cathedral, the Art Nouveau Bookhouse, Elisseeff Emporium, half a dozen 18th-century churches, a monument to Catherine the Great, an enormous 18th-century shopping mall, a mid-19th-century department store, the Russian National Library, the Anichkov Bridge with its horse statues, and the Singer House.
One of my favorite things to do is to take my parents to Brooklyn's Prospect Park. We've been doing it for last 3 years. We love the colors that nature presents us.
I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I did taking it.

The late Derek Jarman's home, Dungeness. The poem on the wall is from John Donne's 'The Sun Rising'
'Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us ?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run ?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices ;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
In that the world's contracted thus ;
Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere ;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere'
Prospect Place regeneration project is part of the iconic Giles Gilbert Scott-designed power station and environs on the banks of the River Thames in London.
I've loved the gargantuan Deco icon for years. I was living in London and would take the train from Waterloo, down to my parents home on the south coast - and a thrill of the journey as the train weaved its way through south London was to pass the power station on my right, standing there in all her glory.
The station had been shut down less than 10 years earlier when I used to pass it and then lay quiet and abandoned for a long time after. I feel very lucky to have seen some of his work in person.
I never imagined a regeneration such as this, both of the power station and also its environs. I'm thrilled that a favourite structure of mine now has buildings by a favourite architect right by its side.
This is Gehry's first project in the UK. Externally, the two Gehry buildings are distinguished by their sculptural facades, which have a rippled effect and are punctuated by large windows. They contain 308 homes.
"I love London", reflected Gehry. "It has culture, history and diversity and the buildings we have created at Battersea Power Station are designed to stand artfully on their own amongst all of that, whilst also framing an internationally recognised icon".

Update December 5th 2025. I am incredibly sad to learn of Gehry's passing at the age of 96. Gehry won every major prize that architecture has to offer. His fascination with modern pop art led to the creation of some of the most wildly imaginative deconstructivist buildings ever constructed and brought him a measure of worldwide acclaim seldom afforded any architect.
He worked well into his 80s, turning out heralded buildings that remade skylines around the world.
His American father was born in New York City to Russian-Jewish parents, and his Polish-Jewish mother was an immigrant born in Łódź.
One of my favourite stories I learned about Gehry a long time ago was that he was a creative child and he said he had been encouraged by his grandmother, Leah Caplan with whom he built little cities out of scraps of wood. With these scraps from her husband's hardware store, she entertained him for hours, building imaginary houses and futuristic cities on the living room floor.
In 1954, Gehry changed his surname from Goldberg to Gehry due to he and his wife's worries of anti-semitism.
May his memory be a blessing. Zikhronam Livrakha.
