SILHOUETTE...

If you are a regular follower of this blog you will probably be aware that I find alleyways very photogenic. This one off George Lane in South Woodford is no exception. It's very short as alleys go but I have made several pictures of it already from various angles. The photographs I have taken there just seem to cry out to be black and white and this figure in silhouette I think confirms it....

COBBLES PART 2...

You may have seen the picture of this cobbled alleyway that I published earlier this week, you can click here if you missed it. Anyway this is the 'reverse' shot looking in the other direction. I like way the curves of the round drain cover match the curved arch at the end of the alley, the looming figure helps as well...

COBBLES & ALLEYWAYS...

I just can't resist cobbles, photographically that is, I find it impossible just to walk by and be satisfied with a glance. There has to be an angle, in this case from ground level, with these particular cobbles it was a double delight as they are in a short covered alleyway. What photographer can resist an alley, they always lead somewhere to make an interesting picture....

Spotted this on my travels parked in South Woodford a week or so ago and just had to photograph it. I thought it would grab the interest of the biking enthusiasts.

A TOUCH OF THE BLUES...

I have made several visits to South Woodford lately, the last one being late afternoon as it was getting dark. I went onto the bridge over the A406 to have a look at the contemporary structures of birds that are on poles. Interesting as they are what I really liked was the way that the modern cobbles were illuminated with blue light, it just made such an interesting abstract design.

LEADING LINES...

I was in South Woodford the other day when I came across this alleyway. It's in George Lane and runs through to the car park behind the shops. I assume it was built as part of the original shop development.  I was attracted by the light coming through from the other end and the way the line of the walls lead to the top of the frame. It's always worth taking a little time to look around.
