This is another look at the roads of Wanstead. This time it's Fitzgerald Road behind the old Fire Station, lovely houses, blue skies, buds coming out on the bushes, what more could we want.

PERFECT AGAINST A BLUE SKY..

There's an old expression that says 'buses always come along in two's', well a similar thing happened to me but with magnolias. A few days ago I found a great example in Mansfield Road and now I have discovered this one in Fitzgerald Road. I photographed it from underneath and I think it looks wonderful against the blue sky.

LOVELY OLD BUILDING..

I love finding these odd buildings in Wanstead. This is in Fitzgerald Road, which has lovely houses so I wonder how this fits in ? My suspicion is that it is the rear of I & K Brown's garage around the corner in Church Path, the original 'jobmasters' building.

We had a great Intermediate workshop last weekend and on  Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th of April we have a 2 day Basic Workshop. This is a really great introduction to photography taught in a simple and practical way. See the workshop page for more information.

PAMPAS GRASS

This pampas grass in Fitzgerald Road is great. It doesn't matter what the time of year or the weather every time I pass by it looks wonderful. I particularly like this view, backlit, with the old railings in front. 

CURTAINS...

I think old brickwork is great, there's just something about it that's mysterious. I always wonder exactly how old it is and what it has witnessed. This pillar in Fitzgerald Road is almost covered in ivy, there is just enough of a gap for the bricks to show through. The ivy reminds me of heavy curtains in an old drawing room.

REMEMBER THIS ?

This caught my eye in Fitzgerald Road this week. At one time telephone poles were very common, their wires running through the air into houses connecting people to the world. Now everything seems to be buried underground, so it was a surprise to see this pole with it's climbing steps. Many years ago there was a small GPO training area near Charlie Browns roundabout where engineers were taught to climb the pole and practice working on the wires at height.
