#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.

Later we realised, we were so wrong.
It was not the smart appliances that betrayed us - looking back, the true source of the machine #revolution should have been so obvious. But we didn't realise until the #wheels had well and truly turned against us.

A Raleigh bike has a piece of paper attached to it saying "FREE". It is leaning against a fence, in a greassy area in front of a graveled front drive of a house. A trailer in the front drive of a house has a piece of cardboard attached to it with cableties saying "FrEE"

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!"

I like the scale of things on that car park, but dislike that it's so… just tagging.
There's so much in that area that's so beautiful, clever, and well executed. And constantly changing

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.

On some of the other days, but not the 31st.
Some rather damp little skeletons and goblins though - and one rather smug looking shark
Picture of a terraced house at night. Two people are heading towards its door, one is wearing a pink shark inflatable costime, and holding a bag.

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)

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

It was one of the things I loved most about starting to use the Manual mode of my camera, capturing the night properly.

Alas I've worn out that camera through several years of hard use & weather, so need another.
A photo of a path at night curving gently to the right into the distance, with a line of relatively dim street lights above, and two lines of small faint lights showing the edge of the path and start of grass. The silhouettes of trees are visible as darker shapes against the dark sky, and there are a few other lights from houses visible.

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?

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!

A large paper skull shape stares out of a house's window, other a hedge with red flowers that has been draped in cotton cobwebs.

It's all getting a bit #halloween creepy around #Islington at the moment…

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.

Well, most of it. Some of the views in Mogden were interesting, but I might struggle to call them beautiful!
#sewage #walking
A fingerpost signpost next to a road and river pathway has 'Duke's River Walk' pointing down the river path, and 'Duke's River Walk via Mogden Sewage Works' down the other, and a kingfisher symbol on top of it. View through trees of bubbling sewage behind guardrails and walking gantries

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)

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?

"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!
