PHOTOGRAPHING THE WORLD, AS I SEE IT.

  • Turret Shadows

    Turret Shadows

    I liked the way the light and shadow worked on these turrets, and by converting it from colour to monochrome, I hope it has picked up something of a hand drawn, almost pencil on paper feel… that’s the plan anyway. This is my last shot of the turrets that sit on top of the church…

  • The Church of St Nicholas

    The Church of St Nicholas

    It took four years to build this very intricate church in the heart of Bucharest, Romania. Work completed in 1909. The church was sanctified on November 25th. However, it took damage during the first world war, and was repaired again by 1921.

  • One Golden Turret

    One Golden Turret

    This is one of the turrets atop St Nicholas Orthodox church, in Bucharest.

  • Light Beyond The Gate

    Light Beyond The Gate

    I found this ornate metal gate whilst exploring the city of Bucharest. The early morning, golden light threw the gate itself into silhouette as it lit up the building behind.

  • Is that Gringotts?

    Is that Gringotts?

    This building, the CEC Palace in Old Town, Bucharest is the site of the first bank in Romania. Looks a lot like the wizarding bank, Gringotts, to me.

  • The Top of the Bank

    The Top of the Bank

    Taking three years to build, the CEC Palace (of which this shot shows just the very top of the tallest dome) is home to the very first bank opened in Romania. We will see more of this great building tomorrow.

  • Old Reflections

    Old Reflections

    This shot shows the first bank in Bucharest reflected in the windows of a nearby modern building. I liked the way the bank is carved up into different sections as each window reflects its image in a slightly different way. Old and new combined.

  • Light Fantastic

    Light Fantastic

    I know it’s a bit strange, but one of the things I enjoy about exploring cities across the world is how they design their street lamps. They all perform the very same function, and yet everywhere you go they look a little different. I wonder who designs them for a living?
