Our walk through the Regent’s Park after the William Kentridge show, saw lots of beautiful autumnal trees, itching to have their portraits (or group portraits) made.

Colourful In-between
And here is the picture I did submit to the contest. The staircase leads down to Conway Street, past the bus depot, a car park and a modern block of flats, to an industrial estate. At the top is Goldstone Villas, with The Station pub immediately to the left and the Hove train station just past the pub. The street art both enlivens the scene and makes it appear a little more destitute, especially with the drifts of autumn leaves.
Ramp
Pedantically, this ramp out of a car park, between two blocks of flats, is liminal – it is a space that is the boundary between purposeful places, between the car park and the street, between one block of flats where people live and another, a space no one needs to be except to transit from one place to another. However, as a picture, I’m not sure it conveys that sense of the liminal very well, nor is it a particularly interesting image on its own, without that context. Another reject from my mad dash to enter a contest for liminal space photographs.
High
Space in front of the remodelled bus depot. Another unsuccessful attempt in my quest for a liminal space photograph worthy of a contest entry.
Temporarily Liminal
Another reject from my hurried search for a photo of the liminal for a contest. This hardly qualifies as liminal, but in the road’s inaccessibility, it does constitute a kind of no man’s land between the bus depot being remodelled on the right and the industrial estate on the left.
Liminal
A friend sent me notice of a contest to take a new photo of a liminal space. With only a day or so left, I dashed out to see what I could find. I seldom get good pictures under these sorts of circumstances and this was no exception. Here is one of my rejects – more over the next few days.
Back to the House on the Corner
Nothing new has happened here but, shooting on a bright, crisp autumn day with a superwide lens, I was able to get the whole edifice in a single frame.
Net Reflections
These are some bags my partner uses to keep her crochet supplies in, glinting in the sunlight, shot with a macro lens.
More Light and Shadow
Yet more sunlight and shadow play, this time taken very closeup with the interesting Laowa 9mm lens.
Storm Austen
My youngest son, Evan, came to visit in Brighton the same day as Storm Austen. Trees on the train tracks delayed his arrival and when we went for a walk the wind had hipped up waves on the normally far more placid seafront. (the picture above shot at 16mm, the one below at 9mm).

Neuron Pod
“This is the £2m Neuron Pod, one of the last posthumous works of architect Will Alsop, who proves that he is still eminently capable of making mischief from beyond the grave. The project marks the latest addition to Queen Mary University of London’s campus, an informal science learning space for the armies of schoolchildren who benefit from the teaching hospital’s lively education programme.”…more.
