The view from Greenwich Park, Queen's House, Canary Wharf skyline
A Sunday afternoon walk to Greenwich Park, through the flower garden, past the bandstand to say hello to my uncle playing piano with a Big Band on the bandstand, then on to the Wolfe statue for the classic view over the park looking north.

One day – one day – I’ll pull together some proper then-and-now photos taken from this spot over the last 15 years. But this is how it looks now: the grass in the park very slightly greened up and recovered after weeks without rain; the Isle of Dogs and Canary Wharf stopped at this particular moment of development, a brief pause before the glass and steel buildings spread further out from Canada Square. I’ll no doubt be back there in the coming weeks – maybe I’ll try a then-and-now then.

I’ve shot these before countless times now, but it still feels worth it. The skyline keeps on changing (it might not be too long until views of the Millennium Done are mostly obscured from the south), and the autumn colours pass before you know it.

Shot on my Fuji X-T10 with 35mm and 60mm lenses on a chilly November day.

Harris Hawk and keeper

Caught these two on their break between pest control duties on Friday lunchtime. The hawk is a fabulously incongruous site amongst the suits and chinos of Canary Wharf.

Thursday lunchtime, London was sweaty and the air murky, with the sun just not quite breaking through. A weird and kind of attractive light for taking pictures.

A quick peer out at the view from the top of Greenwich Park on a murky Sunday morning, on our way to a showing at the planetarium. I’m not sure how many times I’ve shot this view – and it’s pretty much the most cliched shot in the area – but I’m not bored of it yet.

Hardly an original viewpoint, but one that’s hard to resist – particularly when the clouds open up like this.
