Wednesday, 28th February 2024 - The Old Geezers go to London
Regular readers 😉 will have heard of the Old Geezers before. For those who haven't, we're a group of six, mostly single, old men who enjoy photography and each others' humour and company.
Today, five of us caught the train to London for a few hours in the King's Cross area. Unlike some of the others I'm not very familiar with London and didn't know what to expect from that area. It turned out to be very interesting. I really liked the mixture of old and new architecture and discovering the canal and small nature reserve in the middle of an urban landscape.
I felt a bit of a tourist. My cameras were busy taking pictures of just about everything I saw. Many shots have been discarded but this update still contains many more photos than previous ones. You might want to make a coffee at this point 🙂
I'll start with King's Cross station. This is a panorama shot in which 9 separate pictures have been stitched together (by my computer) to give one very wide angle shot. It does contain distortions and doesn't suit everyone's taste in photos.
(Here are some more shots from King's Cross and St Pancras stations.
There is an illuminated tunnel between the two stations
After leaving the stations, we walked around the local area.
I also took my Infra-Red camera. These photos show the area in a different light - literally. IR images tend to be a bit of a "Marmite" thing - some people hate them, others love them.
Well, if you've got this far, thank you for your patience - I hope you liked at least some of my photos 🙂.

Fantastic mix of photos Den! We haven't seen that tunnel between stations yet! I feel a trip into the Big Smoke coming on! Haven't been for ages xx Marion B
ReplyDeleteThanks Marion. It was my first time in London for a while but I hope it's not the last 🙂
DeleteGreat selection D, you obviously had a really good day. So much to see in the Kings Cross area 😊 S.
ReplyDeleteThank you S. Yes it was a good day and I'm sure there's more to see with more exploring. Maybe next time 🙂
DeleteSome great pictures there Den. I particularly like the panarama, the statue looking up and the illuminated tunnel.
ReplyDeleteLondon could be a good place for us to meet up if you’re up for another visit sometime. L
Thanks L, and yes, we'll do that some time 🙂
