A Sunday morning stroll through Greenwich Park; the sun out and a feeling that maybe Spring might actually be here. The re-turfed area looks ok, and far from the post-Olympic devastation that some have suggested.

I went on the Meantime Brewery tour last night, and very good it was too. It’d make a great place …

A day when even the African textile shops struggled to cheer the place up.
More photography from Aldgate and around here.

This appeared in Aldgate shortly before the Olympics, but it’s proved remarkably difficult to photograph satisfactorily; too much stuff in the way: pedestrians, cars, buses, lorries, roadworks, temporary traffic lights, street furniture, and so on. Yesterday the streets were quiet and the sun emerged for a short while just as I left work.
More photography from Aldgate and around here.

Such was the weather that a good proportion of the people wandering around the middle of Greenwich were sporting expressions similar to these cheery sorts from St. Alfege’s.
Me, I’m daydreaming about sunny days and the re-opening of Charlton Lido…

…of the Aldgate roundabout.
This corner of London has been much improved for pedestrians in recent years; railings removed, pedestrian crossings installed, and generally made less complex to navigate by the fact that you can go in most directions at ground level. But not quite every direction.

Christ Church, Spitalfields; winter sun, originally uploaded by neilclasper.
The working day much improved by a stroll through Spitalfieds, and a hot pie for lunch.
Christ Church glowing in the low winter sun; a sight that never gets dull, and a reminder that I need to take the camera inside the church sometime soon.

I went to the Barbican’s ‘Everything was moving‘ photography exhibition on Friday night. It was fantastic: great choice of photographers, superbly presented (just the right amount of info on the captions: enough to provide context, not so much as to distract from looking at the images), and knocks the National’s ‘Seduced by art‘ into a cocked hat. No ‘interrogation of photography as an art form’, no tedious ‘but is it art?’, just photos doing the things that only photos can really do. The collections of Ernest Cold and David Goldblatt from apartheid-era South Africa were my highlight.
If you’ve not been, go at once (it closes tomorrow).
