I am not sure, that it was actually a chestnut tree but thought it sounded good in the title. The scene looked very peaceful only, marred by the smartphone. In time our grandchildren will no doubt think of smartphones as strange old fashioned gadgets. Camera Fuji x100s
We were enjoying our dinner at Garfunkel’s in Victoria Station, when this young couple stopped outside. They were both involved in lively conversations, with what was obviously two different persons. We would normally have found their behaviour irritating, but they were both so spontaneously happy, that we found it amusing Camera Nikon D5000
Outside the tobacconist in the shopping Street in our town is one of several benches on the street. Here some of societies “outsiders” like to sit and enjoy their morning beer. Camera Nikon Coolpix P310
Close to our usual hotel in Bloomsbury is Burton Street. There one morning, on our way into town, we passed The Maghreb Bookshop that specialise in a wide range of books on The Maghreb, The Middle East, Islam and Africa. The proprietor Mr Mohamed Ben-Madani was outside cleaning windows in readiness for the day’s business Camera Nikon D5000
For a few month he was a familiar sight in the shopping street of our local town. Then he disappeared. He looked like one of society’s outsiders. I got this image of him sitting smoking quietly in the sunshine. Camera Nikon D5100
On my latest photo trip to Copenhagen I passed this poor soul a couple of times. He was trying to sell the Danish version of “The Big Issue” he was largely ignored. I had no cash on me, so I couldn’t help him. Camera Fuji x100s
On the upper level of the redeveloped St. Pancras Station is a monument to Sir John Betjeman, Poet Laureate of United Kingdom, who is credited with saving St. Pancras from demolition. With its soft constant light it is a place worth visiting and photographing. Next to St. Pancras is Kings Cross Station, infamous for the dreadful fire in 1987. It has been totally renovated and the curved glass roof of the main concourse is a must for photographers. Camera Nikon D700.
Yesterday I spent a short while in Copenhagen photographing. Part of the old flower market has been redeveloped and a large open activity space has been created. This chap was sunning himself on the rubber topped surface, that is part of the space. Camera Fuji x100s
