Moor Park House
Final image from last month’s walk to Waverley Abbey, the Moor Park House. We turn off the North Downs Way, onto the public footpath running past this private complex on the left, through the Moor Park.
Tate Stairs
I’ve photographed this stair case on previous visits to the Tate Modern – it’s hard not to want to. Here are two more from my late March visit.
Lloyd’s
The iconic building – tree’s-eye perspective.
Beginning to get backed up on these daily snapshots – moving back to multiple posts per day for a while till I begin freeing up the backlog.
Green Room
Disappointingly, the “free” Whitechapel Gallery wanted £12.50 for the Zineb Sedira exhibit we’d gone to see and there was not too much else (although the Andrew Pierre Hart was interesting). But there are always interesting spaces in galleries and museums. Watch this space for more.
Richmond Reflections
The day after the gallery visits we went into London again to check out possible neighborhoods, starting in Richmond (see below).
Gallery Space
The Goodman Gallery provided an opportunity to continue my collection of big, open, white gallery spaces. See more below (click pictures to enlarge).
Upper Illium?
We walked up to the Upper Hale (one of Farnham’s villages) to see how they’d integrated the dilapidated chapel into the landscaping design of the cemetery (the work in this article has been completed.) Emerging into the Upper Hale we saw this house with its equine wooden sculpture (we didn’t check inside for Greek soldiers).
Next stop on our gallery tour was the Royal Institute of British Architects in Portland Place. We’d been hoping to see the photography exhibit, Wide Angle View but it was closed and we contented ourselves with an exhibition of student projects and a library project on the difficulties faced by women architects in the largely male world of architecture.
Rectangles
On our New Year’s Day walk to Aldershot we came upon this Morrison’s (English supermarket chain) upon arriving in Aldershot – worth-a-shot.
Cryptography
​​Antony Gormley sculpture
This mysterious life-size statue of a man contemplating the water held in his cupped hands is the work of the celebrated British sculptor Antony Gormley. Sound II, fashioned from lead out of a plaster cast of the artist’s own body, is in the Cathedral Crypt.

Train Ride to Waterloo
West Hampstead
A train trip to North London.
Architecture
An example of newish architecture coordinating with its surroundings, perhaps.
Sugimoto Space
And, as always when I’m visiting a museum or gallery, I’m as interested in the space and the geometry as in the art exhibited (and finding some place for my reflection). Click any of the images below to see them full-size.
