Battersea Powerstation

A couple of weeks back I was talking about Battersea Power Station and how I’m infatuated with it. I’m not even sure why I rock on it so much. Maybe it’s a historical thing, or something to do with the fact that a city like London has/had such a visible source of power supply, back home the power stations are all a bit out of the way.

Dunno, when we first arrived in London I thought it was awful but now it’s probably one of my favorite structures in town. Well, anyway, I took a different way home from work to see how I’d go getting some pics from across the Thames. It would seem I’m not alone in my infatuation, turns out that’s where everyone goes to take their photos of the power station.

Anyway, I snapped a couple off but then felt a little cliché so will have to think about another way of looking at it. Mighty power station you vex me!

Thames sunset

I’ve been meaning to scout around my area for photo opportunities for quite a while now. I live quite close to Battersea power station and am totally infatuated by it. Riding my bike home last night, I noticed that it was looking like a good sunset so decided to detour along the Thames path. There are loads of great photo opportunities down there. While I didn’t get any good shots of the Power station, I did scout some good spots for the future. On my travels, I snapped this one. Nothing great but a nice industrial silhouette coupled with a lovely sunset.
