Brick walls and windows along a London street, late afternoon
There is probably not a whole lot to write about this photograph. As we walked some London streets that were not quite as filled with tourists, I looked up this side street and saw the beautiful series of brick walls, with all sorts of interesting interruptions of the basic form: windows, an indented darker area housing windows, conduit and a lamp, etc. Between the darker bricks further along the wall and the shadow near the camera position, there was a brighter band of sunlit bricks.

It looks like one of the old warehouse buildings near the old docks – now probably very expensive apartments. I now try to get into London every 2-3 weeks as a mini photo safari.
Old buildings, monochrome and shadows – always good for photos.
John, I’m jealous that you can photograph there so often – I found London to be full of a wide variety of interesting photographic subjects, and I was barely able to scratch the surface for the possibilities during the week I was there. I must go back!
This does look like some of the waterfront areas – which have, indeed, become quite expensive in many cases. I’d have to go back and look at my original files again but I think this was actually shot in a slightly different area though.
