Coming from the South - # 09/108
You've seen this view before in slightly different form. As you walk up from Kingston along the river, the slope of Richmond Hill comes into view. It's a bit of a clutter of late 19th and mid 20th Century houses and apartments, but on the whole it's not such bad urban view. The setting sun and late evening light sparkle in the water and enhance the scene.
(I'm still too busy to spend time getting out to take photos, but in due course things should improve. I suspect that will be a welcome relief to some who have accused me of behaving like a chimney sweep........not doubt scraping the archive for something to show!!!! I've been doing "copyright" stuff which I can't show here. That takes time.)
"Coming from the south"! Awwww C., I thought you were going to show some shots of Alabama! HA Of course we're always happy to see your wonderful photographs whenever you have the time to post them.
ReplyDeleteTruly a gorgeous photo...could easily be a postcard and I think a painter would love to use it as a guide!
ReplyDeleteOh Chucker, I didn't mean it that way!
ReplyDeleteFor what you call an "urban view", it's really very attractive!
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to forget the Thames and yet it's always there or thereabouts in your neck of the woods. Super. I'd want to be spending lots of time there.
ReplyDeleteYes, despite the 60s concrete apprearance of some of these buildings it's still a great view - and those people must have an equally nice view from up there! I just wonder when the developers are going to take down the wooden boardings around the new development right on the river.
ReplyDelete@Steve....really psd to have rcve your visit, Steve. (I can see that you have been getting up early to do the Park). You're right about those wooden boards: weird, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a breathtaking view! I love the colors and the details in the photo.
