Snow falling at the Crouch End Clock Tower and yours truly with umbrella in one arm braved the elements to get the shot.
A rare event brought about by the virus, unfortunately this only lasted until the shops openned and then (I was told) it was madness.
Evening view of the Crouch End clocktower.
5 exposure HDR, natural processing. I believe I kept the cloud colours as I remember them as it was that yellow that prompted me to rush to the scene with my camera.
Scene from the Spring lockdown, empty streets, few pedestrians. This time we'll have miserable cold weather to put up with as well.
The red brick clock tower that marks the heart of the Broadway, the centre of Crouch End that still feels like a village in London. Crouch End has long been a hive of creativity, with some estimates suggesting 40 per cent of residents are employed in the creative industries.
Bob Dylan used to be spotted in Crouch End, where he came to record at The Church Studios on Crouch Hill.
Oh, ignore the M sign on the bus stop, there is NO McDonalds in Crouch End.
Better light but no rain, dew or water drops and I didn't have time to spray.
I'm now off for a week without access to internet so I guess it's goodbye from me for a short time.
I looked out of the open windows and marvelled at the colours. I rushed to the top of the road and caught the end of a spectacular colour display.
I shot sequences for HDR but in the end I chose this single frame, the HDR version eliminated the bus altogether.
The clocktower at Crouch End, the centre of our village.
Every hour on the hour I hear its chimes and if I'm awake at night I don't need to open my eyes and look at the led clock to know I should be asleep at that hour.
As are all pubs, cafes and restaurants and many more.
Taken on one of my rare ventures outside and grasping the opportunity to try out the mirrorless.
Sadly, I just found out that the company that owns The Queens has in fact, recently filed for bankruptcy.
Another victim to the virus.
A double rainbow in leafy London, England. Taken with a Canon 5D4, and the Canon 50mm 1.4 lens. Edited in Lightroom Classic to bring out the rainbows a little more.

Parkland Walk public footpath was once a railway line and these platforms are all that remains of the old Crouch End Station. It was quite muddy to the sides after recent record rainfall.
Only the platforms remain. Now part of the Parkland Walk. A 3.1 mile (5km) footpath and nature reserve in North London. Constructed as part of the Edgeware, Highgate and London Railway in the 1860's it was intended to be transferred to The Northern Line as part of the underground network in the late 1930's but WW2 interrupted the plans. Passenger trains ran until 1954. Part of the line was used for freight until 1964 then just to transfer empty tube stock until 1970. The rails were lifted in 1972.
