London Times is a short series of photographic blogs that record a recent visit to London. See more links at the end of the blog.
Sunrise at the end of November and the sun is low in the sky. The chance to wander around Borough Market before a morning meeting was too good to miss. Arriving at Southwick, I took some time to reflect at the London bridge viewpoint which has a memorial to the people who lost their life in the terror attack in 2017.
Southwick cathedral stands tall against the Shard which dominates the skyline. Borough market was busy as traders were replenishing their stores following the previous day’s work. The market is expanding all the time and much larger than when I remember it when I worked in the area. Mind you that was 40 years ago. Time does pass quickly and that is why I love photography as you capture those moments for others to look back on and enjoy. The low morning sun created pockets of light which I tried to follow with my camera.
There is some street art around that helps create stories when the people walk past the artwork. I just let myself be pulled along with the commuters that were passing through the area. They were stopping off at coffee shops and then disappearing into offices. I like Clink Street and the two murals one of which depicts William Shakespeare.
London was cold and a chill wind was driving along the Thames but this did not stop me taking pictures of the river from Bankside in the gorgeous light. Dropping into the Borough Yards underneath the railway, there are many different pictures to be taken as the lights from the shops create shadows on the walls.
And if you missed my other London Times Blogs here we go.
