Landscape perspective

[sean]

Heres some to add.....this time looking towards the city and wembley from SW london........canary wharf, wembley, Gherkin, Millenium wheel, St Pauls Cathedral et al.

[David Humphries]

that's bonkers, look at the distance & perspective between the shard & st Pauls in your shot & compare to mine.

 

good set sean.

 

 

When I was at Ashtead recently, we went passed Epsom race course.

 

I should have stopped, cause the view toward the city from there was stunning.

 

do you know it ?

Yea thats pretty mad......looks miles away.......just goes to show how perspective can be very deceiving!

What gets me about wembley is that whenever i see it in my jaunts around london it always seems sooooo close. I mean....how far from Richmond do you think? 8/10 miles.......my zoom isnt great yet it seems so close.

Not as impressive a skyline as london but here's sunny manchester from the top of an alder in sunny salford at 10am this morning, you can just about make out the hilton!

[David Humphries]

Good shots Rob.

 

What's Salford like?

 

My old Boss retired couple of years back & went back there to live.

 

 

Only ever been to Didsbury & the Uni area in the centre of Manchester.

I suppose its like anywhere really, you get the good with the bad although i must admit i haven't seen any of the good yet:blushing:

 

There are a lot and i mean a lot of council estates and rough areas but most of the people are pleasant enough (apart from when they start to say the trees shouldn''t be there, pfft philistines)

 

there are plenty of old cemetaries which we also do work in with plenty big and interesting trees.

 

So all in all i probably wouldn't choose salford as a holiday destination but i've seen a lot worst, oh and we've got plenty black (manchester) pops up here, really gnarly trees!

 

ps

One thing i have noticed is that the trees get thinned too much... hmmmm...

[sean]

view from the mewp looking towards landun tan!

[David Humphries]

Good one.

 

 

Which way is the last shot facing?

Think I can tell the others.

 

 

Looks like a nice day.

 

What we're you up to?

 

 

I didn't see any day light yesterday, stuck in budget meetings most of it
