Into spring and BST, and despite the near six-week gap and the galloping strides evident on the plot, I still naively expected this to be northside of the river. For the first time I cycled down, a lockdown reacquaintance, and parked the Santander bike behind old Billingsgate after a 10-minute pootle down the blue CS3.Continue reading “1st April 2021 13:00”

The next day though was a bit brighter, the cloud a bit higher and more transparent, and I arrived by the river to find the Sun much much lower than two and a half weeks previously. There’s no denying it changes quickly at this time of year. So this was the first one on theContinue reading “16th October 2020 13:00”

This was basically the inverse of the last one. I left the flat in bright sunshine, arrived in gathering gloom with the Sun obscured, got drenched in a downpour on the walk home, and arrived back at the flat in bright sunshine again. Well. Even worse, there was a tease of a chance on theContinue reading “15th October 2020 13:00”

This was last chance saloon for a while. The forecast for the rest of the week was dire, and then I was meant to be away for a few days. I woke to rain but the forecast said the cloud would break. I left the flat under heavy skies and tried to find value inContinue reading “29th September 2020 13:00”

The first opportunity for an orange autumn tag came and went. I wasn’t planning on walking down this afternoon but I had errands to run so headed here on the off chance. No luck. As a tease a tiny patch of blue drifted southeastwards approaching 1 o’clock, but it didn’t pass the Shard and itContinue reading “25th September 2020 13:01”

This was a day on which I really wanted sunshine. The four days in the year that I care about more than others are solstices and equinoxes, and today is the autumn equinox. I started when the Sun was at its northernmost. And today, and hour and a half after these photos, the Sun wouldContinue reading “22nd September 2020 13:00”

I’d been away a bit, amazing after that spring and summer. On top of that, the end of August and start of September saw foul weather. So this was the first clear chance in a while. The sky was ridiculously blue and the shadow pleasingly sharp, but that’s not going to help locate it accuratelyContinue reading “13th September 2020 13:00”

Here for entirely different reasons, this would have been a bonus. As it was it was cloudy and the path to the north from which it might just have been visible was closed for cleaning work. Some you win… It was a bit of a tease as there was blue sky around, and I knewContinue reading “21st August 2020 13:00”

Another beautiful day, but this time it was really pushing it. I had to cram myself into the alley heading riverwards from St Olaf’s car park, and just about managed to see the Sun in the Shard between the buildings, ceilings and railings. Looking north from here, this is probably the last time I’ll getContinue reading “11th August 2020 13:00”
