Evening at the Wharf by andycoleborn

Evening at the Wharf

Following on from yesterday's photo, here's another view of the Canary Wharf development. This time taken from the opposite side, standing at West India Quay looking South-East.

What this photo tells me is I definately want to come here at night, armed with my tripod and try some nightime long exposure shots. Am at football this weekend so might stop by on way home and give it a go.

After yesterday's clear blue skies, today has been grey and drizzle all day... :-(

Busy now cooking for tomorrow. It's Black History Month here in the UK and never needing an excuse for a nosh-up, work will be holding a "bring a dish" lunch for staff. Each person must bring in something with an African or Caribbean feel.... I'm cooking sweet & spicy sweet potatoes.

We've around 80 staff so should be scoffing all afternoon tomorrow....
The wide angle shot suits this shot; gives a sort of added grandeur to the whole collection of buildings.

Nice work Andy , never knew about the black history month to be honest, so I will ask a few of my work mates see if it's common knowledge around these parts

I like how imposing this looks...the black-and-white really adds that. Dramatic and wonderful!

Wonderfully oppressive, you have really captured the feel of the place.

yum can show up at your work, sounds like a feast! So we celebrate Black History month in Febuary, guess we are too busy with Halloween (haha) to do it in October. Great Shot Andy. I must say that I must go visit Canary Wharf when I am in England this Jan.

Nice composition and I like the bring food to work day. We tried that once at work were people had to bring in a dish from their home country. You get some great and interesting food that way.
