Light and Shadows

I was walking down a little street at the back of Euston Station and just loved the way the light and shadows turned this very ordinary wall into a visually interesting wall. The reflections in the car windscreen just added to the picture.

Great photo! Euston is in quite an interesting area. Quite close to where I live in Hong Kong there was a castle called Euston and inspired by the Euston Fire Station. If I can find a photo I'll put it on my blog for you.

Winter light can be so stimulating. The wall is very ordinary, even ugly, but with the shadows... a different story indeed.

I like this pattern on the wall!

Long light; friend to the photographer. But... not everyone would stop to really see this; you have a great eye.

I love your blog- and this particular, whilst not as beautiful as some of the others, stands out to me. It's a very ordinary scene- but the light of this time of year changes it into an interesting wall which the imagination can use to full potential. An inspiring blog, and a noteworthy picture to represent our darling capital city. Keep up the good work.

Wish I had your talent! Thanks for sharing it with us. Checking your photos brightens up an otherwise dull evening!

Sandra said...

These pictures are really impressive,there's kind of spontaneous feeling on them. What I really like is that you write some background information (like in the Piccadilly Circus and Shank's Pony entries), so it works as a London's "esthetic guide".

I love the freedom of the photos, te reflection on life.

I must say, that is a great picture. To go along with what Adam said...
Brick walls are never ordinary!

I will definately agree with that. There is just something about brick that makes it more appealing. You know that actual work had to go into it. And it can bring a bit of history in some cases.

Another thing I want to say is when I visited London, France, and Spain, it really opened my eyes in the history of those place. I live in America, and with just a history of 300 years or so, the places in Europe are amazing.
Those trips gave me a whole new concept of world history.
