I’ve been meaning to visit City Hall and take in the view from London’s Living Room for ages. Finally got around to doing it!

The lower Neuadd Reservoir in the Brecon Beacons, Wales.

I visited Crystal Palace Park today, home to a large transmitter and the remains of Crystal Palace. It is a place that I’ve been meaning to go to for a while now! It’s a great shame that the Palace burnt down in 1936, but just visiting the site gives you an idea of the sheer scale of it. There are plans to conserve and re-develop the site, which would be great.

Taken just outside Arundel.

Another shot taken from the Thames Clipper.

I took this last year, but was never really happy with the processing. I’ve revisited it again as I haven’t been out taking shots recently and I felt like posting a photo. This is an HDR image from six shots; three exposures were used for the sky and then a further three for the foreground once the lights of the buildings had turned on.

Taken in Richmond Park.

Richmond Lock is the last lock on the Thames, and includes a tidal barrage, which makes up the majority of this shot. When the tide is in, the sluice gates are raised and boats can pass underneath. However, at other times they must make use of the lock, visible on the left of the photo. Here’s an overhead photo which will probably make things a bit clearer.

Apparently, there is an accident at this junction every 12 minutes on average. Having seen the traffic, I can believe it.

This 12-shot panorama was taken from the top of the Eiffel Tower, looking south-east.
