These chestnuts witnessed the battle of Waterloo almost 205 years ago now.
It was not a pleasant sight.
listen: - Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on
Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day, I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)
Terry meets Julie
Waterloo station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on
Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise..........
A fortuitous close-up shot on 28th February 1986 of Class 487 DMBSO S62 in the open, it having just been transported from below ground via the Armstrong lift, and being prepared for movement to Eastleigh works for repair. It is attached to ex-works TSO S86, which in turn is attached via a barrier vehicle to Crompton 33034, which was about to shunt the vehicles away from this siding leading to the access shaft/lift, an area consumed in the redevelopment of the site for the international platforms.Built for the Southern Railway in 1940 by English Electric, they replaced the original Dick Kerr-built L&SWR wooden stock. The line was absorbed by the London Underground network in 1992, the Class 487s being replaced by Central Line-style stock. S62, as a DMBSO, has a driver's cab at each end to enable single-car operation if required at off-peak times, but they were rarely used in this way. DMBSO No.61 is preserved in the London Transport collection, restored to the Network South East livery that the Class 487 units last carried.

Today at Waterloo Station, London, snapped with my phone (uncharacteristically I didn't't have a camera with me). Thought the curves of the roof were very pleasing.

Sunset from Waterloo, looking towards Beinn na Caillich over Broadford Bay, Isle of Skye - a favourite go-to location when sunset and high tide are close together.

Back into Waterloo for a quick bit and then we'll take a break from this series for a moment. Although I'm now in Redfern, I'm quite literally on the border with Waterloo. My bus stop is in Waterloo for example. I already know the Redfern side of where I live well, but until recently didn't really know the Waterloo side at all. So that is where most of my walks have taken me. At least to start with. For those outside of Australia who don't know, Hillsong is a Pentecostal church aligned with the Assemblies of God. Yeah. Fun times.

Just wanted to thank everyone for taking an interest in my photographic dream through 2017. Your faves and kind words are never taken for granted
I dreamed of being a photojournalist from the age of 14 after seeing a Don McCullin documentary. I didn't really know what a photojournalist was, I did know what a printer was so I becam a printer. I walked the streets of London with a cheap SLR from 1979 till 1983. Most of the film, slides and prints now lost forever.
Through digital and social media I can now carry on dreaming.
I leave you with shadow me without bobble hat on Waterloo Bridge
To all you fellow dreamers,
peace, love and have a great 2018

Waterloo Bridge, opened in 1817 but named after the victorious battle in 1815, with St Paul's and the ever-growing towers alongside. The mistiness may be heat haze, as the temperature rose (unusually) to 28 degrees that day.

The Electro-Diesel was withdrawn in May 2004 after being used by EWS as a VSOE Pullman loco in working to and from London Victoria.
It was sold to the Dean Forest Railway in 2004 and worked on the Avon Valley Railwya before being sold to Derby RVEL, where it now languishes.
The Shard shines down on the precision parking of Enviro200 EV's at Waterloo (RA) yard with the buses put to bed for the night ready for their duties on the 153 and 214 the next day.
The RA garage code was for when the yard had a supply of 'Red Arrow' buses, a fleet of Leyland National 2's which ran routes in the 500 series mostly between the main London rail termini.
Here is our massive Battle of Waterloo collaboration for Brickfair Virginia 2015! It comprised of 15 feet by 8 feet of LEGO, and there are 2140+ minifigs in place. It’s 100% LEGO with the exception of the flags, which had to be custom due to the size and emblems of the British Union Jack. Contributors:
Me! Gary^The^Procrastinator, Casey Mungle, Ken Rice, John Rudy, Sam Schmidt, AK_Brickster (Jordan), Sir Hamlock (Charlie), Benjamin Corey, Erik P, EKJohnson, and Dr B (Brendan), with a lot of help from Caden Burton, Tyler H. and Chris.
Here’s the write-up we posted to help people understand the build:
What’s going on here? - A recreation of the last battle of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. This portrays the center of the battlefield at 5:00 pm, June 18th, 1815.
What was it about? - Napoleon was trying to destroy two of the armies opposing him, the British-German-Dutch army under the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian (German) army (this army isn’t here in this build). The road in front of you leads to Brussels, further up the road to the right.
Who are all these forces?
- Blue & white soldiers are French, Napoleon Bonaparte’s Grande Army. The column marching in front of you is the last attack of what’s left of d’Erlon’s Corps. All the cavalry are French as well, heavy “Cuirassiers” and light cavalry, the 5th Hussars.
- Soldiers in the farm to your left (La Haye Sainte) are King’s German Legion (KGL) 2nd (in dark green) and 1st Light (in red) Battalions, fighting for the British Army.
- Dark green soldiers in the sandpit are the 95th Rifles, British Army sharpshooters. Like the KGL in the farm, they used rifled muskets.
- Red and white soldiers to your right are the Allies, under the Duke of Wellington, who is in the front infantry square, wearing blue.
- Soldiers in black in the infantry square on your far upper right are the Black Brunswickers (German ex-patriots from French occupation), part of the Allied forces.
Who won the battle? - The Allies, and Napoleon was defeated so badly that he was driven from power permanently and France ceased to be the dominant power of Europe.
For more on the subject, I highly recommend the new book by Brendan Simms, “The Longest Afternoon”. Great history and a fast, action-filled read.

I've tagged people who were involved with the collab, as well as a few who weren't, but were interested in seeing the finished product.

With an autumnal mist in the air class 73 no. 73111 stands at Waterloo with the 10.52pm service to Southampton on 14th October 1977.
More of a parcels working than passenger service there was plenty of opportunity en route to get off, set up the tripod, and take a couple of night shots. It was even easier if you were able to sneak a cab ride as I was lucky enough to on a couple of occasions.
For the techie minded I shot this on Agfa CT18 for 24 secs at f8 with an 80B filter
