What to do when they close the Blackwall Tunnel?????

By Nigel | Published December 10, 2009

Well today traffic was a nightmare and whilst heading out of London I managed to get snarled up in a huge traffic Jam due to the Blackwall Tunnel being shut southbound.

The traffic reports were stating that the A13 and all other routes out of London were congested and delays were going to be long. So instead of having nothing to look at but the car in front I decided to head to the river and sit out the long wait. Since I had the camera in the back of the car I knew I would not be that bored whilst waiting for the workman to repair the manhole in the southbound tunnel.

Here is a pano from the area I ended up at which is a nice quite out of the way place with a cafe.

So when traffic is against you do the best thing and waiting it out find a road you have never been down before and have a mini adventure in to the unknown.

Dusk at the Castle…

By Nigel | Published December 6, 2009

Today I decided to have a wander round Leeds Castle, since it is very close to where I live and the entry ticket last for a whole year I do tend to visit quite a lot throughout the year.

It is a great place to wander and relax with a great mix of things to see and do.

Here is a long exposure shot of the castle just after the sun had gone down, I like the slight movement in the Sky and the smoothness of the water due to the extended duration of the exposure.
