The 12 mile south bank stretch between Westminster and The Thames
Barrier is utterly different in character to everything upstream. Part
industry, part housing, part derelict land, part building site, part
entertainment venue, part sports arena, part farm, plus restaurants,
theatres, street entertainers, art galleries, bars and pubs galore, a
superb riverside shellfish stall, and so much more as the river widens
substantially on its route to the open sea. And all of that is without
looking towards the river! So, much of this is rather new to my lifelong
primary focus on landscapes. But, it was a delightful and welcome
change to what had become for me somewhat tedious over the previous few
hiking days. I found all sorts of different images, several of which
are, as usual, included below. I've not, however, been tempted by
'street photography' even though the opportunities are boundless. So,
people tend not to be present in most of my work even though the summer
crowds, particularly between Tower Bridge and Westminster are dense and
hard to avoid.
