London through my lenses
The following photos are bits and pieces of my London photo album that has grown from 2001 till now. Some of the pics have already been posted and others are new to share with you.
You’ll see London through my tourist trails but also through passionate eyes, or even my worker and urbanist own filters. Pictures are named but ramdomly presented to stick to London chaotic urban form. Some of the pics are in Black and white because to capture an atmosphere, but most of the times because the sky was so shit!  All pictures are taken with my now defunct Sony DSC-5 (or something).I hope you enjoy! 1 Big brother is a London God image hosted on flickr  2 Colours for gloomy skies image hosted on flickr  3 Guilty of London sprawl image hosted on flickr  4 Energizing the suburbs image hosted on flickr  5 Who planned that? image hosted on flickr  6 Manchester down south image hosted on flickr  7 How glass is good sometimes!  image hosted on flickr  8 It takes more than woody benches to enhance the streetscape image hosted on flickr  9 Woolwich, down on its knees but Art deco is everywhere image hosted on flickr  10 for demolition?

Great pics, my favourite is "Working in the City........", with the gargoyle in the foreground and the City boys in the glass elevator in the background. That picture sums up the City (the district) in just one picture. Brilliant.
