Richmond Riverside on a June evening
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 13 Jun 2013
This would normally be a busy spot on a summer's evening, but it had been a windy day, and for the most part a cloudy one. I spent some minutes taking photographs from this spot, and there were very few passer-by - whether walkers, runners or cyclists. But I'll admit the image doesn't tell the whole story: I was standing just a few feet from the terrace of the 'White Cross', where there was quite a crowd - cheerful and noisy. The boat-houses on the right are tucked in below the houses of St Helena Terrace - which makes for an interesting bit of townscape. A similar arrangement (houses above vaults) exists at Royal York Crescent in Clifton, Bristol - but I can't think of any further examples in the London area.
