A walk from Temple tube up to Niall McDiarmid’s Via Vauxhall book launch took me past this (Brutalist? Modernist) demolition site. I was particularly caught by the old-fashioned chimney pots hiding away amongst the concrete.

Some different views from yesterday’s camera test.

I finally cracked and bought a new Fuji. The X100T should, I hope, wean me off the iPhone through a) fitting in a coat pocket, b) auto-focusing enough to catch my daughter on the move. That’s the theory, anyway.
I took it down to the Thames Path near the Barrier to try it out. Some looking-forwards shots should follow these looking-downwards efforts.
First impressions: it’s very, very good (but I’m probably going to have to read the manual).

Stag do paintball events meet industrial estate churches just behind the Thames in New Charlton. Next door there’s a go-kart track, and beyond that the Thames Barrier. The area off the river is an odd and largely undocumented corner of the neighbourhood; a trading estate and light industrial zone fallen on hard times, tucked up against the aggregates and tarmac plants, waiting for redevelopment to come.
