Wispy reeds by the pond and clouds in the sky - # 08/134

Late evening sky, light, high cirrus clouds, reeds catching the light, as dusk gathers around the pond in Ham.

They have the technology- # 08/133

Old gas lamp, a bit skew-whiff- # 08/132

Antique Victorian gas lanterns are much treasured these days. What really amazes me is that I can clearly remember, in the 1950s, these street lanterns were still in use and still gas powered with incandescent mantles. (It's worth enlarging the photo to see the delicate little crown pieces at the corner edges).

The hard and the soft - # 08/131

Roofs, walls and bushes, and a tiny little curl on the top corner: the Embankment, Twickenham.

Experimenting with tight depth of field (or, Having Fun) - # 08/130

Night time, Isleworth Dock - # 08/129

There was a church and an important ferry crossing here in the year 965 - 100 years before the Normans arrived. The existing tower is medieval, the mass of the church is a modern building following a destructive fire in the 1940s. The London Apprentice inn building has been there since the 18th century. The river tide is low, exposing the beach. In the past it could flood up to the church and protective walls were built.

A glimpse along the bar of the London Apprentice, Isleworth - # 08/128

Just a quick glance from the riverside terrace outside, towards the bar inside.
