Had to endure a concert at the O2 Arena that my twins wanted to go to and I really don't like the music. I survived and they loved it, which is what counts. This is part of the ceiling in the shopping centre.
As always I really appreciate your comments and favourites. Have a great weekend.
Another shot from a recent Uni Open Day. Love the flower mural against the architecture.
Many thanks for your comments and favourites.
Well...I can't say if a fully flowering Echinacea is more lovely than a Love-In-A-Mist, but its aftermath is. The latter produces a thing of nightmares while this looks - business like and efficient and not ugly at all, not even hardly. Hopefully plenty more of the same next year.
A well-connected building in Gravesend...the Victoria Centre may or may not have been named for the queen of that name; there is a statue of her yards to the left of the buidling. And the name Darnley is associated with all sorts, including Mary Queen of Scots...and Lennox Road nearby...
There are not a lot of famous people associated with Gravesend: Pocahontas, of course, who died here, but since, not a lot. However, Peter Blake, who, with his then wife Jann Haworth, designed the cover for Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, although born in Dartford, studied in Gravesend and in this building.
The Victoria Centre is no longer an adult education centre, having been sold at auction recently - its guide price was £400,000.00 and it went for just over £1.5 million. Flats ? Who knows...

These Tree V Fold photographs show trees forming a fantastic figure fashioned from branches and leaves.
The sign with birds in silhouette both open and closed catches the eye and makes for a great positive message as you walk from the Car Park to the Visitor’s Centre. I was very pleased with the single image and also with the joining of images which immediately offered two variants. The two variants were either the original full frame joining forming a Tree V Fold, or a sharper incised cut to make a more precise V Fold at the centre of the pictures.
The Sun and Winter go very well together. Bright and strong the shadow making light built everything, well photographically at least. This is a great place with excellent cafe and visitor’s centre making a superb human reaction to help wildlife. This place is a reserved world of natural wonders nestled in amongst our modern pressures of life and living that often overlook wildlife and the chance to be calmer and closer to the land, water and sky and also to those that never left the cycle of seasonal lifestyle.

A moist and cold day by the River Thames at Gravesend...not actually that unpleasant other than the drab lighting. But these things must be borne with a stiff upper lip.
The tide was out, exposing the plentiful mud and a little down river, a few birds I'd not seen before, searching for whatever creatures live in the mud.
Gravesend is forecast its share of Storm Grotti or whatever it is, mainly in the form of rain. No snow, which is fine by me.

Cold again by the River Thames, autumn proceeding 'at pace' as Mr Starmer likes to have it.
Cropped in Photoshop plus a little brightening.

These V Fold photographs show the sign at RSPB Scotland Loch Leven nature reserve reflected upon itself forming a sharp fantastic figure V fashioned from the weathered steel and full of a wonderful coloured sky. It was a great moment of evening rich sky and artificial lights from the car park making for deep colours ad strong silhouettes. I do not normally crop a picture that I reflect upon itself, here I did in part to rest my arms fearing that I might not be steady enough to take this picture, so the crop brings about a sharper image than I could in camera.
