Watch the bus coming in on the turn to its stop. Trafalgar Square in the background and the National Gallery.

0095/1000

St Martins in the Field, Trafalgar Square. 7 March 2011.

0094/1000

And this one too...

0058/1000

From Holborn Viaduct looking down towards Blackfriars. Plumtree Court, former principal office in London for Coopers & Lybrand, is on the right hand side. As awlays cranes (or a crane) in the skyline. I enjoyed experimenting with HDR in CS5 on this one.

I am horribly behind posting photographs to the blog... Over 100 to catch up with. None posted in March. Whoops! Anyway, back to a some photographs I took in London on 1 March. This is from Holborn Viaduct, as is the next one. I quite like the colour on B&W background...

0050/1000

They got therre before me and painted this one black. I was left with no option but to leave the rest of the picture in colour!

This marks 5% of my 1000 photographs. This is 16 days out of 365, or just 4.4% - I am a tad ahead of myself, but not enough to rest on my laurels!

All I need to do now is start getting people to come and look, and hopefully comment on the photographs, to help me develop my styles, understand my strengths and weaknesses and so on. Help please!

True old technology in the heart of the City of London where there must be the highest proportion of double mobile phone usage in the entirety of the planet, not to mention iPads and everything else. Why do we need these here, except that they give photographers something to do in Photoshop (I'm still only a one trick Pony!)

0048/1000

So back to the Tardis theme: this one looks like it is next to a Fire Hydrant, Actually that is an intergalactic parking meter. Overstay your time and a Dalek will turn up, photograph the Tardis and tow it away to the knackers yard in the sky...

0046/1000

A cacophony of styles, also mixing God and Mammon. Right in the City between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, looking North on East Cheap (I think!)

0045/1000

"The" Institute (ICAEW) providing a glimmer of colour on a dull, dull day.

0044/1000

Which way to Diagon Alley (for the Harry Potter fans...) I thought the dark cloud looked like it could be Dementors coming to remove the last vestiges of humanity and fun from the City, hovering over the old NatWest Tower...

0043/1000

And looking the other way. This comparatively modern building next to the Victorian splendour of the Guildhall.

0042/1000

Looking across the courtyard in front of the Guildhall. The light was very grey so I have used the HDR approach. I think it looks quite good!

0041/1000

Guildhall - the centre of the City of London... I used to work in a building right next door.

0040/1000

The toxic waste in the City is so bad that the pedestrians are forced to detour round the binmen...

0039/1000

In my view this is probably the least attractive looking pub in the whole of the City, or possibly the whole of London, certainly from the outside. It is a good 30 years since I went inside it. And how can anything that looks like this be taken seriously when it is called "The Plough"???

0038/1000

This just about typifies London to me. Brand, spanking new building on the right, and older (but not ancient!) on the left.

0037/1000

Contrasting styles. Looking towards Liverpool Street Station with the bus heading towards Paddington Station. It was a grey, bleak old day. The skyscraper struggling to be seen.

0036/1000

Just like buses - none for ages and then a queue, except only the first is for hire!

0035/1000

Looking up from Moorgate with the Bank of England behind you, where London Wall crosses at the traffic lights. The building on the left with the plastic and the crane sticking out of the top is the prospective Moorgate Crossrail station. It is amazing the volume of work that is going into these major new stations. I will have to take the camera to Tottenham Court Road.
