Patterns on the Street

Sometimes road users,  the road signs and colours on the road surface combine to make patterns ....

Cable Car in London

   The new Cable Car service over the Thames, in east London opened last week, and at the weekend I had my first - hopefully of many - trips on it. The service straddles the Thames from the North Greenwich Arena on the south of the river to the Royal Docks on the north ,,, which was my direction of travel.

   Had some stunning view over east London, including the Thames Barrier, and the many sites for the upcoming Olympic Games, due in a couple of weeks. My only complaint was that the trip was over all too quickly - about 5 minutes.   Had to queue for about half an hour - and looking at the queue in the 4th image (from the top), it had lengthened after me ... is the service becoming a tourist attraction already ?  Next time I'll try going from north to south.

Richmond Park

Early Summer and with the fresh vegetation, so it is time for a little Infrared Photography, in nearby Richmond Park.

Signs and Symbols

 

91 Days to go

91 Days to the 2012 Olympics here in London and counting ...... the Olympic Clock in Trafalgar Square continues to form a backdrop for portrait photography - and in no particular order ...

Time for a Few Signs

 Now I wonder where this one is pointing to?

 A different version of a road works warning.

SightSeeing tours of the wonderful Underground system?

Are dogs not allowed because they smoke ?

Countdown - 100 days

100 days to the 2012 London Olympics and in a rather wet Trafalgar Square, the countdown continues.

Given the number of days to go, there was a media scrum and an "event" .....

And some tourists provided some colour on a rather drab day - given the weather here in London, it will be probably as wet in July in 100 days ...

The Square seems to attract footie supporters also - this time from visting Barca. Shame the result of the game didn't go their way.
