Winter sun alongside Māwaihākona Stream, Upper Hutt, New Zealand. Almost nothing is left of the Podocarp forest that once carpeted this valley floor from hillside to the other hillside. The trees were cleared by the early settlers in the 1840s and 1850s. However the Friends of Māwaihākona restoration group have since 2011 planted 3.2 hectares with 11,500 young trees (seen on both sides of the stream) that in time will return this section of the valley to its former glory.
Some trees along the hedgerow of a country lane..

This is from a local swampy area that had a flood event a few years back, killing everything including a large stand of towering Tamarack trees. Last year at this time, there were only dead trees and knee high grasses... a wide open area of about a square km... when I returned there recently, many parts were impassible with 2 metre high winterberry holly plants so thick and an explosion of growth of various trees and grasses. In just one year, it was unrecognisable... and so strange and beautiful!
under sleeping giants
quietly close to the earth
sing a thousand ferns
and of course happily free

On the summit of Mt Hay, in the Blue Mountains, the gum trees are regenerating after the Grose Valley swept up and over the mountain. Last shot of the morning, as we descended back down from the summit.

Coal Drops Yard, Kings Cross. A fine example of how industrial structures can be repurposed for living and working. Shops and eateries overseen by the newly renovated gas holders turned into residential and office space. Quite an airy and welcoming space, which I'd never been to before.

Many new restaurants, bars & café's have opened at the multi £Billion redevelopment at Battersea Power Station.

Harden moor was an area of heathland, quarried and grazed. It's now 'common land' and as such is left to its own destiny, which has seen Birch Woodlands develop and also Oaks colonising the open areas. It makes for interesting landscapes but needs some conservation to ensure a future safe from too much human influence.
Nature and the Regeneration of London working side by side. A Madame Tussauds moment naturally in Walthamstow E17.
Which bit is real? Both unfortunately.

A couple of years ago this tree was pretty much dead, but a recent picture of this old sweet chestnut tree shows it's beginning a re-growth of it's leaves. it's amazing how nature makes a comeback and recovers from the cycle of life.
Some regeneration in Busthinia country, Barcaldine region, Queensland, Australia - following a large bushfire in November 2012, which burnt out 50,000 hectares. The owner told me he has sent his cattle on adjistment and it will take at least 6 months for Busthinia country to recover sufficiently for him to bring back his cattle (that might also rely on some good rain).

The morning was so windy I spent a lot of time looking overhead to see if limbs were falling. Really thought it was just a day for walking but managed to get this long shot.

After some serious haircutting these trees have started sprouting some new growth and this row of trees stand guard over a new row of electric charging points for cars . About ten or twelve parking spots in this car park are now given over to these recharging points and just like the Bookham car park , I have not seen a car plugged in yet !

Just across the river Irwell (bottom of the picture) is the Greengate area of the City of Salford; I took this picture from the Manchester side of the river. An estimated £950 million of investment was planned for building work between 2016 and 2020 with a further £900 million between 2020 and 2026. The Greengate area sits in the heart of Salford where the vision for the future, as far ahead as 2040, is for it to become a distinctive place to live, work and to attract visitors. These building sit on the site of the old Manchester Exchange Railway Station; even thought it was in Salford. From 16 April 1929, Exchange Station had a platform link to the adjacent Victoria Station, (which is still in use today and is in Manchester), thus creating Europe's longest platform at 2,238 feet (682 m); it could accommodate three trains at once.
Five minutes before I took this I was asked to stop taking pictures of the two buildings centre and right, by security. I asked why and was told I was standing on private land. I was on the bridge to the right of the image, so I stepped off the bridge onto Victoria Street and took this picture. Now standing on public land in Manchester I can now take a picture legally; how stupid is that?
A beautiful summer's evening at Pacific Quay, part of the scheme of regeneration of the River Clyde.
The BBC Scotland TV studios can be seen in the foreground. One of the old cranes (Finnieston Crane) can be seen on the left dating from the time when Glasgow was known as the second city of the British Empire and led the world in shipbuilding.
London Docklands -The Royal Victoria Dock - southside. Too many years ago I sailed out of this dock on an old tramp steamer bound for South America. It was my first trip to sea. How we ever got there and back is a story for another day!

It was daylight when I shot this photo, but I wanted to solely feature the stained glass windows and restored stained glass skylights, so I set the exposure compensation for darker. Another photographer there took similar shots with no compensations, and with the light streaming in, even through coloured glass, her photos looked washed out. To see the actual concrete structures supporting these stain glass features, please visit my Abbey Album, or do a search on Flickr or otherwise for the church. It's quite an incredible modern cathedral.
