Rocking around the Christmas tree

Not quite classic Waterloo

I wanted to capture the famous station in war and peace image; but there’s too much commercial clutter. This is as close as it’s possible to get.

Silver birch by Winchester station

I love seeing these trees every morning, although they’re due to go to make way for a council-backed ‘gateway’ development (they mean flats).

Deck the booking halls

 The florist outside Winchester station looks cheerily festive; even on a dull morning.

 

 

 

 

 

Starting to think about Christmas

One of the topiary hollies outside the Garden Museum in Lambeth looks suitably festive in some late autumn sunlight.

The Hampshire prairies

Another shot taken from a (slow) moving train near Micheldever, this time looking towards the South Downs. I was after the sunrise; but I like the line of telegraph poles adding an industrial aspect to the landscape.

Hat’s on

The seafarer outside the International Maritime organisation’s HQ wears a woolly hat for Woolly Hat Day (organised by the Missions to Seafarers’, which gives out woolly hats to sailors).

Fleeting autumn

I like this, although my partner think’s it’s confusing. It’s a shot of the bank near Micheldever, taken with a phone, straight through the train window, so the trees and their reflection stay sharp and the rails and vegetation blur.

The sun also rises

The sun rises directly behind the main entrance to Winchester station
