Its been a while since i posted anything. This shot is mostly ambient light, with a flash popped at 1/8th to the right to fill in the light to make it even. Looking back at the image, i maybe should have moved the throw..

For most of the week the UK news media have been covering the story of the office block (on the R) that nearly started the second fire of London - well it melted a car and scorched a doormat in a street below.
Apparently the reflected sunlight from the concave glass facade of the building designed by Rafael Vinoly is concentrating solar energy (known in the tabloids as "death rays") into a small area of the street and pushing temperatures up into the 50s. For the full story see here:

In this view from Union Street in Southwark you can also see how this rather overbearing newcomer to the City skyline (nicknamed The Walkie-Talkie) blocks out the view of Foster's Gherkin.
Meanwhile Richard Rogers' Cheesegrater begins to make its presence felt nearby. In the background the Heron Tower pales into insignificance although it is in fact slightly taller than the Cheesegrater.
But don't worry there'll be another taller one along soon - The Pinnacle which will squeeze in front of the Heron Tower at 288m to become the tallest building in the City of London.
The Glades features a par 72 championship course, one of Greg Norman's finest designs where 9 hectares of natural wetlands were retained within it, to create a wildlife sanctuary. View more at Sunland Group
I don't think there will be any issues with condensation in this property!
I spotted this on Oakfield Road on my walk this morning, and it professes to soon be the 'King Kenny Hotel and Bar'.
It's an interesting insight into these buildings. As to what is keeping it up, you can see that the first floor is supported by the wall at the back and the steel beam at the front. The second floor is supported by acrow props on the first floor.
Brave, but seemingly effective.

Just down the road from our hotel. The fine aspirations on the billboard have resulted in a looming, unfinished shell of a building (on the right).
Aerial photographs of Brightwell Lakes, Martlesham, Suffolk, showing the major new housing development taking shape on land immediately south and east of Adastral Park.
Brightwell Lakes is planned as a new community of around 2,000 homes. Outline planning permission was approved in April 2018 and Taylor Wimpey acquired the site in 2021, with construction being brought forward in a series of phases.
Several individual housing developments can be seen taking shape within the wider Brightwell Lakes site. These include Deben Park at Brightwell Lakes and Auster Place at Brightwell Lakes, both being developed by Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, together with Hemingway Rise, a development of new homes by Denbury Homes. Further phases include Brightwell Lakes Parcel W6, where Taylor Wimpey has secured detailed planning approval for another 93 homes.
The first phase of Brightwell Lakes comprised plans for 317 homes split between two areas: 195 homes on the A12 parcel and 122 homes on the Ipswich Road parcel. The scale of the development is particularly apparent from the air, with completed houses, streets under construction, prepared building plots, new roads and large areas of previously agricultural land being opened up for later phases.
Brightwell Lakes is intended to become considerably more than a housing estate. The masterplan includes a new all-through school, community facilities, employment areas, shops and places to eat and drink, sports pitches, allotments, play areas, open space and a network of pedestrian and cycle routes.
Immediately beyond the new housing is Adastral Park, one of the most important telecommunications research sites in Britain. The distinctive main laboratory buildings and communications installations can be seen prominently in these photographs.
The site has a remarkable history. This was once part of RAF Martlesham Heath, an important experimental airfield associated with aircraft and armament testing. The General Post Office acquired part of the former airfield in 1968 for its telecommunications research operation, which moved from Dollis Hill in London. The new Post Office Research Station at Martlesham Heath was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975.
Following the separation and privatisation of British Telecommunications, the establishment became BT Research Laboratories, later BT Labs. In 1999 the site was renamed Adastral Park, the name recalling the RAF motto Per Ardua ad Astra – “through adversity to the stars”. Today it remains a major centre for telecommunications and technology research.
These aerial views therefore record a particularly interesting stage in the continuing transformation of Martlesham Heath: former military airfield, telecommunications research centre and now the setting for one of Suffolk’s largest new residential communities.
Key names:
Brightwell Lakes – Deben Park – Auster Place – Hemingway Rise – Taylor Wimpey – Denbury Homes – Adastral Park – Martlesham Heath – Suffolk.
... in case it is needed when they finally dismantle the greenhouses. That's if it will start!
Manor Nursery, Angmering ... about four months after it closed down in July. It will eventually go for building land.

Taylor Wimpey's Lindfield Meadows development in Haywards Heath was one of the early adopters of our new facias & facades offering. This bold exterior signage lets you know you're in the right place. Internally, we provided our usual stunning interior decoration - keeping everything on brand and on point. © Octink.

1 Ashley Road, Tottenham, London N17.
Have you spotted a frequent feature of property developers' advertising? Their artists paint pictures with blue skies and puffy white clouds. There's prominent greenery and perhaps a glimpse of shining water.
It is true that - if high enough above the traffic - some flats being built at the junction of Ashley Road and Monument Way will have an open view southwards. Including a vista of Tottenham Marshes and Hackney Marshes, the River Lee and nearby reservoirs. (Walthamstow Wetlands.)
Other new residents may not be so lucky. It also depends where and how high the overdevelopers build the next tranche of towers.
As Gus Elen sang in an 1899 music hall song:.
Wiv a ladder an' some glasses
You could see to 'Ackney Marshes
If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between.
Left out of the picture?
Such property advertising in London - and perhaps many other British cities - may leave out inconvenient facts. Omitting for example any hint of London's growing poverty and inequality. No homeless street people; no beggars. None of the reality of run-down areas; underfunded parks; litter; dumped rubbish; and graffiti tagging.
Artists' impressions of the interiors of new flats are commissioned by developers. Often they are gleaming and empty. Not only minus people, but not even a trace of a child's toy or an unwashed cup.
If an imagined outside view does show people they tend to be well-dressed and enjoying pavement cafés. Or perhaps strolling streets which never have any potholes, or crowds, or traffic jams.
And perhaps that's what we expect. The world as a glossy sales brochure filled with luxury goods? In which case, Buyer Beware of billboards advertising new towers. Especially those rising next to polluted main roads.
With never the tiniest hint of the climate crisis. I wonder how artists will paint their idyllic penthouses and sub-penthouses in a future when Londoners wear masks to protect us from polluted air?

Marina Residences by Sunland Group – The Centrepiece of Royal Pines Resort. Now, in the most prized address on the Gold Coast, the most select enclave of all is being presented. Marina Residences, centrepiece of The Concourse. Inspired by the ceremonial beauty of classic architecture, two wings of just 84 low-rise residential buildings sit elegantly on the landscape. These gracefully tapered five storey towers are connected by a central entry foyer, strikingly cylindrical in shape and featuring fluted exterior walls reminiscent of a Corinthian column.
