Wanstead at night - December 2020 - Here's to a brighter new year

I could not resist trying a B&W version to highlight the street lighting starbursts.

 

Merry Christmas 2020 - Wanstead evening

A festive shot of the Wanstead tree given a twist by (unintended?) camera shake!

Long exposure produces street light 'starburst' and all three of the traffic lights - simultaneously.

Can't do a night time shoot without including tail-light trails.

Wanstead library looking forlorn at 5pm on a Thursday evening.

Those tail-lights again!

St Mary the Virgin, Wanstead is a Church of England church in Wanstead, east London. It is located on Overton Drive and now shares its parish with Christ Church, Wanstead. It is the only Grade I listed building in the London Borough of Redbridge.  According to Wikipedia,  The parish is first recorded in 1208, but its medieval church was replaced 70 foot to the north by the present building between 1787 and 1790,^[2] on a plot donated from his estate by James Tylney-Long.^[3] It was designed by architect Thomas Hardwick. Its foundation stone was laid on 13 July 1787, followed by a reception at Wanstead House, and it was completed on 24 June 1790

 

Weald Park, Brentwood in Sunny Essex

 

A short walk across Weald Park from the visitor centre was just right on a cold winter's day.

Bare trees cast long shadows in the low sun.
