Shell Centre, London

Over the  years I've taken quite a few photographs of the Shell Centre on the South Bank, London. The building, which after its completion in 1962 became Britain's tallest, is an early example of the facelessness of many corporate towers. I took this photograph in 2013 when the half moon and a passing airliner suggested to me a different kind of image.

Blurred carousel

This colourful fairground carousel seems to be a permanent fixture on London's South Bank. In the past several years I've photographed my wife and grand-daughter on it a few times, and, if my memory serves me well, have ridden it myself on one occasion. On the recent day that we passed by it was spinning and playing its music with no passengers at all. Perhaps the operator was showing it off in the early evening half-light to drum up some trade.
