Moon over Shepherds Bush

Moon over Shepherds Bush

A dark night outside our window. The frame is dominated by the silhouettes of neighbourhood trees and an aerial on a rooftop. But the slender crescent of the moon with its delicate luminescence takes centre stage, poised in a dark blue sky.

Rear view

Roof, tree, sky

An intriguing, dramatic sky captured from a back window of my London home. The sun is straining to break through a tempestuous, cloud-strewn sky.

But this is more about a rear view which I will soon leave for good. The tree and corrugated iron roof are part of the landscape, as is the train line which runs perilously close to the house. Passengers regularly peer back at me as part of their regular commute.

And  to complete a trio of photographs below is the most spectacular sunset I had the pleasure of seeing from my window – wintry, fiery and tremendous. This window has provided some beautiful moments among the urban drabness.
