Thunderstorm in Croydon

 

Dandelion Seeds

 The Sun Light

Another day, another picture. This is a building in Croydon Town Center.

This picture may not be as good as the previous one. By taking this photo i wanted to capture the light going through the building. I personally like the composition of the trees around. What is your point of view? What is the thing in the picture that captures your attention?

Croydon Airport

What was your first reaction when you looked at this photo?

In 90s Croydon airport was the only airport in London.

 South Croydon

I found a good spot to take a picture of south Croydon.

 NLA Tower

The NLA tower in the background.

 East Croydon Station

A picture of East Croydon station.

 Purley Way

Grass and trees with Croydon Town Centre in the middle.

 

I think that the Purley Way is one of the best places to take pictures of Croydon.
I think that the trees on the end of the field, are showing the scale of the buildings behind. That picture makes you think how big things can people build.

 Water Tower

Another tower rising above the trees. This time is old water tower in Park Hill.

According to www.archeologydataservices.ac.uk  the water tower was used during World War 1 as an observation post to spot Zeppelins. During World war 2 it Was used as an emergency water supply for fire fighting.

 Hotel

The hotel tower rising above the trees nearby east Croydon station

Here is a picture of the same hotel, but from different distance.

Interesting thing about both pictures is the shape of the building that makes a very good composition with trees. The first picture looks a bit like a top of the ship.
