Parting shot
The final shot from our trip to London. The last one to appear here; and the last one that I took.
Is it ever quiet around King’s Cross?

Juxtaposition
Ancient and modern. I like these kind of contrasts… although sometimes you need to be lucky to capture them!

Elegant entrance
We went for a wee walk on our final morning in London. Photos were taken – starting with what must be the most elegant entrance to any Travelodge.

The conversation
5 minutes… 3 mini stories #1
I stood for no more than 5 minutes in one spot, watching the people passing. It wasn’t a deliberate exercise – I just became fascinated with the scenes that unfolded. (Next time, it might be more intentional!)
I liked the conversation to the right of the shot. I couldn’t hear what was being discussed, but it looked intense.

Night-time
This is the first in a wee series of photos taken around King’s Cross at 1900 hours in October.
For me, there’s something magical about night-time photography – even if it is a bit tricky at times.

Second best
I struggled to get photos of the wonderful exterior of Gloucester Road Tube station ( I will try again).
But I was happy to capture this scene as I re-entered the station.

Pond Life
What do you do with a disused platform on the Tube?
Turn it into an exhibition space. This is part of TfL’s Art on the Underground project.
Pond Life by Monster Chetwynd is on display at Gloucester Road until May 2024. Sometimes, we need to pause as we travel around.

Marvellous
I was so distracted by the chandelier that I didn’t pay attention to the cakes and pastries. Maybe we’ll indulge ourselves next time!
