The Kreod Pavilion

The Kreod Pavilion is an event/exhibition space on the Greenwich Peninsuala, between the O2 Arena and Emirates Air Line. It is constructed from environmentally-friendly materials and comprises three interlocking pods that can be arranged in a variety of configurations, or can be used as stand-alone structures. The Pavilion is the latest work from the Norwegian Cleantech 100company Kebony.

London sunset, seen from the Emirates Airline cable car

I've been meaning to take my camera onto the Emirates Airline cable car for a while now, but during the Olympics/Paralympics period there were a huge number of people travelling on the system, which made it difficult to get clear shots through the windows without annoying other passengers. Also, the weather was often rather poor during my free time.

On the afternoon of the 18th September I noticed that the sky was clearing, and I decided to head down to Greenwich just before sunset. Hardly anyone was boarding the cable car and I was able to make four round trips with a carriage to myself. Even so, the journey does pose a challenge for photography. The biggest challenge was trying to avoid reflections from the windows in the carriage. As the sun gradually disappears you are also forced to use slower shutter speeds, which would be fine if you are able to keep the camera still but in an occasionally bumpy carriage is not always possible. In a separate blog I will post some pictures I took once the sun had gone down and the city's lights came on - both of the challenges above were magnified considerably during this period!

Dance performance, North Greenwich

This dance performance was happening last night just outside North Greenwich underground station (near the O2 Arena). Passersby were handed headphones, through which they could listen to accompanying music. Unfortunately, I was on my way to a meeting so didn't stop long enough to find out more about what was happening.

Common Terns

This blog entry has been modified since I originally posted it. Initially, I mistook these birds for arctic terns. They are in fact common terns, which are very similar; however, the arctic tern does not have so much black on its beak. This pair were photographed at the Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park. I watched for about an hour or so, during which time the male kept disappearing for long periods and then returning with fish for the female. This is typical behaviour for the species prior to nesting and then mating.
