Critique Welcomed End of the Line

[Peter Roberts]

Rob's recent 'Edinburgh Old Townscape' put me in mind of this from three years ago.
The Thames Path between Woolwich and Greenwich passes pockets of riverside industry in spite of the invasion of tower blocks. This is Cory's Wharf looking across the river. Similar in conception to Rob's image it also features strong horizontals dividing the different elements. Unlike the sky over Auld Reekie though there are some clouds here to add interest.




While I'm at it here's another from nearby, the Thames Barrier seen from Angerstein's Wharf. The structure in the foreground is an aerial conveyor belt for aggregates.

Beautiful subjects well rendered, Peter, particularly the first.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I see the connection, Peter. Love the leading lines in the first!

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

Great images Peter, but the title immediately put me in mind of this...

P.S. I'd never actually seen the video before

Thanks for the kind words, Gianluca.
To be honest I wasn't sure about these. The light and/or over energetic agitation during development has made them look a bit harsh to me.

Thanks Rob. I knew you would but given your current situation I wanted to be make certain

Hahaha. Thanks Stevenson.
I'd forgotten about that. I've now played it twice and can't get it out of my head

I always enjoy the juxtapositions of old/modern, industrial/urban. Those bricked-in tracks add yet another dimension, in particular the tracks that curve off to the right. Nice work, Peter!

It's something that always fascinates me too. I count myself lucky that there's quite a lot of that sort of thing within striking distance of where I live.
