#WrongLondon gives you the leaves of October with the #freezing winds of February. Do you even remember what #warmth feels like?

#psychogeography #Photograpy #StreetPhotography #London
Night photo of empty pavement, large old paving stones are cracked and wet from rain, reflecting the streetlights above harshly, and scattered with fallen leaves. On one side are black railings, the other lamposts, trees and cars.

When the efforts to obliterate #graffiti turn into a form of #art themselves 😍
#StreetArt #London #photography #StreetPhotography
A long road bridge has a tall concrete barrier, in many places along it there are roughly painted rectangles in different shades of faded grey and brown - some overlapping. One has a heart faintly painted over it. Behind, there is a bright blue sky.

At first we thought it was the Smart Appliances that led the #rebellion. No one saw it coming, but the clues were all there…

A white clothes dryer is on gravel near a building's stairs. It has a white piece of paper on it saying: "FREE FREE!"

Forgotten amid the discarded and tattered scraps that #capitalism throws away - perhaps the way to fix our #politics?
#ElectoralReform #ProportionalRepresentation #photography
Looking down into a dead end outside a garrage, the cobbled road has a large number of bicycles,, their wheels, old computers, plastic crates, a wheelchair and a disco glitterball amid other junk and reubbish all stacked up on each other. Near the top of it all is a black box with a handle and the letters "PR" stencilled on its side.

Inevitably, #Walktober ended in a downpour - but at least this #duck is enjoying it! (#StreetArt from #JamesStraffon)
And I've loved the month of evening & urban #walks—keeping my legs moving through dark of the year
Thanks @gojauntly.bsky.social for the idea & #CityStrides for location inspiration!
Blurred picture of a path through a city park at night, heading towards terraced houses. There's rain falling, illuminated by a street light, which is also causing lense flare/blur from the water. Street art of a mandarin duck on a house wall. Below is a pavement wet with rain, and a large puddle flowing into a drain.

Seen at the end of another long city #walktober wander, Arsenal station's corridors always feel a mixture of terrifying and strangely hilarious (as I only visit when it's pretty empty)
#psychogeography #LondonUnderground #London #photography
A long London underground station corridor has metal bars splitting a narrower section on the left from a wider section on the right. The picture is slightly blurred with motion - the nearby bars the most.

On Wednesday I walked Aldgate to Seven Sisters, (visiting in between) close to a straight line. Someone said "Not a very pretty road though?" But watching how much #London changed around me, seeing the #StreetArt of #JimVision, #Loretto & others— that was beautiful
#Walktober #photography
Two pieces of street art by an unknown artist or artists. On a wall there is a large eye with trees reflected in its iris, and a raised eyebrow or frown expression around it. Nearby on a black door there is someone leaning aganst the door frame with a log for a head, shirtless, wearing simple trousers and boots. Street art mural by Jim Vision across the wall of an alleyway. Nearest is a bloack woman with rand and incised designs across her face, to the left there's the words "Rest In Power NASH", and another more anime style face beyond that. The alleyway continues into darkness, there's a wide city street on the other side. Street art mural by Jim Vision across the wall of an alleyway. On the left there a black woman wearing a clear helmet underwater with bubbles and lights around her. Part of a more anime pale white girl with an orange heart outlined above her forehead is also visible. Street art mural by Loretto. Famous musicians are playing together as if a single band, with "THE DREAM BAND" on a yellow background on the drums. Jimmy Hendrix is playing the electric guitar wearing a red bandanna, Keith Moon is playing the drums, Elvis Presley is dancing and singing at in the centre, Bob Dylan is playing a blue acoustic guitar and the harmonica, and John Lenon is playing the guitar and singing

You're walking through an alleyway when suddenly…a #tree leans over the fence? No, not a tree—a #dragon with wooden flesh. She asks you where her forest grove has gone—only fell asleep for a century or so. Can you help her find it?
#Walktober #psychogeography #NaturePhotography #London #photography
The trunk of a tree winds in a interesting snaking shape through a city alleyway. Leaves fill the top part of the photo. Behind the trunk are houses. Night photo.

Continuing the #halloween theme - when I stared into the darkness on a night-walk near Clissold… something stared back!

It's all getting a bit #halloween creepy around #Islington at the moment…
#Walktober #London #Photography #StreetArt #StreetPhotography
Baloons and sheeting is strewn on the pavement near fallen leaves. One baloon has had two eyes painted on it, making it look like a face Purple fairy lights come down from the top floor of a house to the ground, where there's a large sphere lit up as a pumpkin and other halloween decorations On top of a signpost there's a figure of a man sculpted out of yellow foam with a policeman's hat, sunglasses, a bow tie, and a red thong with a yellow smiley face at the front. Street art of David Cameron waving goodby on a wall. Just the face, shoulders and a disconnected arm are left.

How many #rivers shall I #walktober down? The answer shall always be "Another, ANOTHER!" On Sunday, it was the Duke of Northumberland - a man-made mill-stream, yet still #beautiful for that.

View down a river with trees and undergrowth either side View down a river, with a moorhen half running half flying across the top of the water. There's greenery either side and growing into the river, and a path along one side. An egret is flying down a river, underneath branches of trees.

Whilst it's bloody awful #ReformUK are now outright saying there are too many non-white people on TV, at least Sarah Pochin gave us a new quote to meme! (But she's a massive #racist who should #resign )
I fear Captain @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk may be our only hope.
Zack Polanski's face photoshopped onto an image from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - a man in a greatcoat in front of sea and clouds. On the left side of his face it says "When racism dresses itself as reform" On the right "Who can save us?" and "Woke Liberati in the World of Arty Farty"

A wise philosopher* said "The way I see it, if you want the #rainbow, you gotta put up with the #rain!" And on this #walktober wander through many woods just outside the M25 yesterday with @metwalkers.bsky.social we were graced with both (and much more beauty I'll share later)

Five people wearing bright coats and rucksacks are walking up a road with light rain falling around them. There are trees on either side. A double-rainbow is visible in a cloudy sky above several farm buildings and a marquee A double-rainbow is visible in a cloudy sky above a red brick and roofed house, seen behind a wall with a black gate.

To be hurtling through the world together at such speed & synchronicity that everyone else is just a blur, yet when you glance at them (near or far), they seem perfectly still. Is that what #love is like?
I haven't the foggiest idea, but sounds cool, no?

"Table for one. And I want the gingerbread starters…"
"Please sir, can I have some more linseed oil?"

#Halloween is starting to get creepy already, seen on a very snaking @metwalkers.bsky.social saunter through #Fitzrovia where we were led past 50 bars, but only entered one.

A manikin of a witch is sat at an outside table at a restuarant, holding a wine glass. A small wooden sculpture of a boy wearing antiquated clothing is seen inside an empty shop, it has a sign saying "Venue space available" hanging from its hands.

I love exploring #London for its eternal capacity to surprise—like when I #walktober down a dead-end mews to see what's there… it's a #MorrisMinor hearse!
I assume film prop, but looking up 'Charles Stephens' I find #Wirral funeral directors - and have a lovely chat with them!

Yesterday, back with my usual group, walked about 40 miles this weekend! 😳) & we saw just how much countryside is within easy reach of #Overground lines! Along with portentous #alpacas & a #heron out standing in its field (in the rain, he don't care)

Two reddy-brown alpaca are in a field, looking at the camera. The one nearer seems to be in shadow and is staring directly towards. A heron is standing in the middle of a green field with low shoots around it, trees in the background and light rain visible around it.

Due to a cancelled walk, I spent yesterday #walking up and down hills with the "Thousand Foot" group in #Surrey and along the #NorthDownsWay, rather than my usual Ramblers lot. Good exercise and a lot of interesting things to see!

Night photo of several screens on a desk with other equipment on. Both screens show the same person inside a car, but the one on the left is red tinted and has strongly visible white gridlines across it, the smaller screen on the right is blue tinted and the gridlines are less visible. Someone's head is partially blocking one of the screens.
