Another gorgeous day a great day to take photographs but unfortunately i will be working in the world of Toyota. The plan is to go to Blackheath tommorow and do a shoot. I was there a few weeks ago trying to take photos owhen the London marathon kicked off from there but the rain was a big obstacle and that shoot had to be abandoned. I did get some photo's of the air balloon's which i will post when i get a quiet moment.
The focal point of Blackheath is the Centre known as the village. Blackheath got its name from the heath being used as a 14th century burial ground.
A bit of interesting information about Blackheath was the fact that a gentleman by the name of Montague John Druitt actually lived in Blackheath and he was thought to have commited all the Jack the Ripper murders. He was found floating in the Thames and thought to have committed suicide, no other murders were committed after his death. Isn't it funny that no one really mentions this man when the topic of Jack the Ripper comes up ? Anyway he used to live at number 9 Eliot Place so i will be finding that address if it still exists and taking photographs for anyone out there who's interested.
I will also get some shots of the All Saint's Parish Church. It's going to be a lovely weekend enjoy every minute of it.

Visit to East London 19th May 2010
Morning everyone and what a lovely morning it was lol, its all turned overcast and grey again, compared to about 6:00 this morning which was lovely and sunny unleashing that feeling of its great to be alive.
Took Nico the rotty out around the park and noticed that all the squirrels babies are running all over the place. Had a bit of a nightmarish time yesterday afternoon but it all turned out fine in the end. I travelled to east london to the old Abbey Mills sevage Pump site in Newham, this building is so beautiful even though its seen better days. The Mill was built in 1860 to carry the increasing amount of sewage produced in London away from the center of the city. I will post more on the Abbey when i post the pictures. It was a difficult site to take photographs as there was double mesh fences around with barbed wire everywhere. Might have to do a bit of photoshop with some of the pictures to make them viewable.
Anyway the journey to the site was quite interesting and for some bazaar reason whenever i stopped in traffic i was looking at a underground station, so i got out my little point and shoot and snapped the stations, i am sure there are underground freaks out there who would want to see the fronts of the stations so i will post them aswell lol.
