Blue Hour at Albert Bridge - Thames Panorama Walk with RPS London (Thank you, Del!). Stitched panorama of several images taken from Waterside Point. Nice surprise from RPS London - I won the related competition with this image - need to scroll down a bit at the link www.rps.org/regions-and-chapters/regions/london/blogs/201...
A driver ambles slowly through the drizzle to collect his train as dusk falls in London SW11.
His demeanor suggests he's not looking forward to his shift.

Pico House is a residential building located at 5 Prospect Way in Battersea, London SW11. It is adjacent to the recently redeveloped Battersea Power Station.
During Thames Panorama Photo Walk with RPS I met this lovely gentleman artist David Lloyd Smith - here is a link to his website www.davidlloydsmith.co.uk/our-gallery
ENG: This striking image comes from the former “SW 11” post office in Kreuzberg; this listed architectural gem now houses a design hotel. The historic building was constructed in the 1930s (1933–1937) based on designs by architects Kurt Kuhlow and Georg Werner as a modern, large-scale mail distribution center. It was directly connected to the nearby Anhalter Bahnhof via a tunnel. The striking corner entrance is a particularly defining feature of the architecture. It symbolizes the reorganization and centralization of postal traffic at one of Berlin’s busiest transportation hubs at that time. The design masterfully combines the functional forms of the “Neues Bauen” movement with the neoclassical design elements of that era. After World War II and during the division of Berlin, the building served as the main mail sorting center for the entire western part of the city starting in 1962. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall and due to changing logistical requirements, it lost its original function in the 1990s.

GER: Dieses beeindruckende Motiv stammt aus dem ehemaligen Postamt „SW 11“ in Kreuzberg, in dem denkmalgeschützten Juwel befindet sich heute ein Design Hotel. Das geschichtsträchtige Gebäude wurde in den 1930er-Jahren (1933–1937) nach Entwürfen der Architekten Kurt Kuhlow und Georg Werner als modernes Großbriefverteileramt errichtet. Es war direkt über einen Tunnel mit dem nahegelegenen Anhalter Bahnhof verbunden. Besonders prägend für die Architektur ist der markante Eckeingang. Er symbolisiert die damalige Neuordnung und Zentralisierung des Postverkehrs an einem der verkehrsreichsten Knotenpunkte Berlins. Der Entwurf vereint meisterhaft die sachlichen Formen des Neuen Bauens mit den klassizistischen Gestaltungselementen jener Epoche. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und während der Teilung Berlins diente das Gebäude ab 1962 als Haupt-Briefverteilstelle für den gesamten Westteil der Stadt. Nach dem Mauerfall und aufgrund gewandelter logistischer Anforderungen verlor es in den 1990er-Jahren seine ursprüngliche Funktion.
Grade ll listed The Falcon pub has two claims to fame:
1) It reckons to have the longest continuous bar in the UK; Guinness World Records backs it up.
2) Part of the bar was supposedly designed by MC Escher. (Londonist)

Misumena vatia is a species of crab spider with holarctic distribution. In North America, where it is the largest and best-known flower spider, it is called the goldenrod crab spider or flower (crab) spider,[1] because it is commonly found hunting in goldenrod sprays in the autumn. Young males in the early summer may be quite small and easily overlooked, but females can grow up to 10 mm (0.39 in) (excluding legs); males reach 5 mm (0.20 in) at most.
Description
These spiders may be yellow or white, depending on the flower in which they are hunting. Especially younger females, which may hunt on a variety of flowers such as daisies and sunflowers, may change color at will. Older females require large amounts of relatively large prey to produce the best possible clutch of eggs. They are therefore, in North America, most commonly found in goldenrod (Solidago sp.), a bright yellow flower which attracts large numbers of insects, especially in autumn. It is often very hard even for a searching human to recognize one of these spiders on a yellow flower. These spiders are sometimes called banana spiders because of their striking yellow color.
