Dungeness is an area on the coast of Kent England, formed largely of a shingle beach and shelters a large area of low-lying land. It is a truly unique area of the UK and can appear to be very baron and isolated. Thankfully the weather was perfect for photography when visited There are many subjects to photograph here but I was attracted by the abandoned boats and winches, there was also houses made of old railway carriages and the famous Bumble Bee house The much photographed Bumble Bee House My favourite photo of the day A very old boat Definitely not going back in the water any time soon The New lighthouse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeness_(headland)#Lighthouses An old railway carriage used for storage A and B Nuclear power stations of Dungeness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeness_Nuclear_Power_Station The Old lighthouse now open as a visitor centre

Part 3 (and last) from my photowalk was a visit to Canary Wharf. There is a collection of art around the area that is in public spaces (more info here https://canarywharf.com/arts-events/art-on-the-estate/ ) Plus the iconic sky scrapers mostly inhabited by large banking organisations. The area was very well kept and a great place to eat and chill out.

Part 1 from my Photowalk day in London on Saturday 21st September 2019. First stop was the City area of London where I visited the Bank of England with Natwest HQ, Mansion house and Leadenhall Market representing the old part of the city then I moved on to the modern buildings such as The Leadenhall building otherwise known as the cheese grater, St Marys axe (the Guerkin) and the walkie talkie building. It was a perfect day for architecture photography with a beautiful blue sky and sunshine NatWest Building Mansion House Gargoyle in Cornhill Leadenhall Market The Bank of England Interesting building next to Bank station The Cheese Grater (Leadenhall Building) The Gherkin On reflection Llloyds inside out building The Walkie Talkie building with its dramatic curve
