The Lower Lea Crossing opened in 1991 and is part of a network of roads built to assist the regeneration of London's Docklands. It links Canary Wharf, Poplar and Blackwall in the west with Canning Town, Silvertown, Royal Victoria Dock and the ExCel Arena in the east.
The sliproads lead to Orchard Place, until recently an isolated and forgotten corner of London despite being only five miles from the City of London. Quite a way from any public transport links It is largely industrial, but a small residential community eked out an existence here until the 1930s when they were rehoused elsewhere by the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar.
At the end of Orchard Place is Trinity Buoy Wharf, established in 1803 by Trinity House to manufacture and maintain navigation buoys and lightships around the Kent, Essex and Suffolk coasts. It was closed in December 1988, acquired by the London Docklands Development Corporation in 1991, and in 1996 was re-established as a centre for creative enterprise.
A residential population has also returned to Orchard Place in recent years, with one of the old warehouses belonging to the East India Dock Company having been turned into apartments. Future plans for the north part of Orchard Place, which has recently been cleared, include a mixed-use residential scheme for 3,000 people.
Just leaving Lower Denby stopped to take a rest.
I was a little "cream-crackered" by this point. There are just too many hills near me and I always seem to start at the lowest point :(
The temperatures plummeted into the lower teens overnight, so using some saved bacon drippings from over the weekend and mixing it with milo, white millet, cracked corn, wheat, and black oil sunflower, I created some homemade suet for the Blue Jays, Woodpeckers, wrens, and morning doves, and pressed the suet into an small, old, bare Christmas wreath that was laid flat into a feeder; the birds seem to be loving it--I'll try to capture an image of them eating from it later.

Lower Klamath Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Siskiyou County, CA in September 2000 during an average water year in which the refuge was allotted water. In 2001 this same area had gone dry due to drought and over allocations of water to agriculture.
I took this photo 11 years ago on a trip to Oregon. It's still one of my favorites. Happy Waterfall Wednesday.
Continuing past the cafeteria this is the north hallway in the 1959 wing. You can see most of the drywall is hung on the left and this area is coming along.

Lower Manhattan, with part of the financial district. Shot whilst trying my new Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM that I just bought at B&H the same day. Super happy with it!
My wife and I spent five super cool days in NYC in October, we even got a bit of a heat wave that almost broke the record that as far as I rember it was set in 1953 (as far as I remember from watching TV in our hotel room.)

This is my last upload of lower kalimna falls (until I go back there again) and also my favourite shot from our short time there, I like the way the foreground is nice and vibrant and how it frames the waterfall. The colour shows what can happen when you turn the circ pol the right way. Its my current desktop and has me constantly thinking of heading out exploring instead of being stuck at work inthe 9-5 grind.
Located in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest on the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway in Fremont County Idaho Lower Mesa Falls is an impressive 65-foot ) waterfall on the Henrys Fork River. It is just downstream of taller Upper Mesa Falls. Together they are the high points of the scenic drive and one of my favorite places in the Island Park area.
