Its quite abstract Suzi so I can only just discern a few shapes but I love the bleached out colours-they are amazingly subtle and haunting!

Thanks Joe! its a bit big for the frame
but its Ok --- wonder why this one and not the other profile one you did which was fine----?
Joe is my Grandson,aged twelve and he has been a fantastic help ,taught me more about these machines than I ever knew you could do with them!
In the full picture you see the dome of St Paul"s and a much bigger section of Fleet Street.Its in oils and is Three ft X two ft------must be too big for the thread! |

Lovely painting, Natalie.
As ever I have a different take on your work.
The crane looks like it is ready to drop a load of pus and blood onto the bus below, but no matter another bus is coming to take the load.
The buses are worms that go from the dark to the light and then get swallowed by the suicide streets that get so narrow that they throttle themselves .
Maggots that crawl from the dark into the light.
Scary.
The traffic light stands as sentry, guarding everything.
But hey, he hasn’t seen nothing.
The buildings around him are tottering with the edge of what they have seen, sort of collapsing in on an idea. |

I think that you may be very close indeed here Ap!
I am drawn to this spot in London because it represents for me modern day London being "beckoned" back to 19th century Whitechapel via the old route of Ludgate Hill and Tower Hill.
Thanks for your words.Very close! |

Philip,Thanks a million for all the help----after quite a struggle [with a very different machine]I did it- as you see!
Suzi,V.nice photos and hey!- thats almost the view, though you can see more of the middle church from the bus top!
Maybe we could have a separate thread for photographs of the City of London.We have one of Whitechapel but not what surrounded it or led to it! |

Hey Natalie,
I didn't know you were an artist and a good one too. I worked for many years just to the right of St.Pauls Cathedral on your picture, on Carter Lane, so I know that scene very well. Visitors to London interested in JTR might want to cross over the road from the front of St. Pauls and check out Carter Lane which which has a definite medieval 'feel' about it and which also was connected to the arrest of Aaron Kosminski.
Hi Suzi,
Nice to see the 'Gherkin' pictured here. Not only has it transformed the landscape of the Whitechapel Road, it is just next to (almost in) Mitre Square. |

Hi Stephen,
You worked near St Paul"s?Fascinating!I know the area well-
esp Fleet Street.
Yes,I studied at St Martin"s and still go to the studio of my old tutor from there once a week to work with on oil paintings.
Thanks for your interest

Turn the corner from Leadenhall Street into Mitre Street leading to Mitre Square. Count to 3... "What's that building in front of us?"

Hi Suzy,
Yes, that's Carter Lane. Thanks for the photo. As I implied this little part of London has immense historical interest and it's just across the road from St.Paul's where the tourist hoards gather. Here there is Wardrobe Court where King Charles the Second had his clothes made, and just south is Knightrider Street where knights once rode to the Tower of London. And have a drink in the 'Cockpit' pub just off here where 18th century punters placed their bets on fighting chickens. Just off the tourist trail. Across the road from Blackfriars Station is the strangest looking pub in all of London which is definitly worth a look.
Hi Philip,
Your punters are quite right. The Gherkin is one helluva gobsmacking building, one of the most impressive pieces of architecture ever, anywhere. Good luck to whoever created it. |

Hi Stephen
It was Sir Norman Foster who designed it. His other claim to fame is that he was one of the architects who was shortlisted for rebuilding at Ground Zero after 9/11, but seeing No 5 St Mary Axe (it's proper name) I'm glad he didn't win!
I know opinion is split but I loathe the building. Then again, I also hate the London Eye. But I do like the new Vauxhall Bus Station.

I quite like the Gherkin too,Philip.Its just that sometimes when you are wandering around those lovely old lanes by the Tower-Lovat Lane/ Idol Lane etc and those above like Carter Lane and Wardrobe lane that Suzi and Stephen are on about to suddenly get confronted with that whopper can be quite a dream shattering experience!!!

That's what it is, Nats. If it was only two-thirds the size and elsewhere - and possibly silver instead of black, I wouldn't mind it.

Hi Suzi,
So ashamed was I by my mis-identifiction of Carter Lane that I made a special trip into the 'city' of London (i.e. the ancient bit) this morning to check things out. I found 'your' lane which is actually St.Swithans Lane, off Cannon street, and also in the middle of Carter Lane I heard a nice exchange between two American tourists. 'Lets go' says the man. 'No, I want to look around' says the woman, 'these little streets are so cute!' I took some nice photos but for some reason my computer is playing hard to get with them.
Philip,
I hear what you're saying about the Gherkin, and in fact it does look a bit grubby close up but skyline-wise, as opposed to thousands of bog standard brutalistic oblong buildings, I think it's rather special. Each to his, or her, own. But in not liking the London Eye I think you must be in a minority of one. Everybody likes 'Big Wheels' and the Eye looks like a good one. Der der der,der der. Der der der, DER DER. Etc. |

Hi Philip, Stephen,
The architect of the London Eye (or one of them) went to the same girls' school as I did, and left the same year - 1971.
Makes me want to crawl through a hole in the floor. She does something wonderfully creative and inspired like that and I end up co-authoring a book about the sodding Maybrick Diary! 
Love,
Caz
