view of BT Tower

i got to go up BT tower again this week.  a fantastic place.

view from BT Tower

i've uploaded these photos a different way, but i suspect if you click on them you might get very big versions.  possibly.

actually, you have to click on 'all sizes' above the picture when you get there to see it bigger

and here's its shadow.  you can probably tell what time and day of the year i was there if you know your geography

i was lucky enough to get another trip up BT tower.  unfortunately after the fortnight of fantastic weather it was cloudy and rainy when i went up so i didn't take as many pictures as on previous voyages.  still, i liked how the picture above came out.

this one is worth clicking for a big view.  it's the last one from my recent trip, and you can see right out to docklands.

click the picture, or here to download it bigly

here's another not so big

Another picture worth clicking on for a big version.  If you have a flick account, add me as a contact and i'll do the same so you can see the big version here  .  Alternatively click here to see the biggety version.

it was quite wet and windy yesterday and i got a bit soggy walking from Paddington to BT Tower .  I remained mostly dry (and became a walking tourist attraction for japanese business men with cameras) thanks to my military style poncho.

when we arrived we went up for pastries and it was quite rainy, but the weather cleared up a bit by our second trip up at lunchtime.  I hadn't realised, but the the tower wobbles slightly in the wind - enough to feel slightly sea sick which was weird.

i'll post a couple of high res pictures soon so you can zoom in and have a look around a bit.

here's a short study of BT Tower reflected in puddles.  I've got 7 shots all together which should take us Tuesday when hopefully i'll be going up it.  i say hopefully as last time i was due to go up we ended up in the basement and only saw the inside of a conference room !

most of the days of my life are spent not going up BT Tower (as are most other people's), but yesterday was going to be an exception as i had a meeting at the bottom which was to be followed by lunch at the top. but unfortunately, the top of the building was commandeered by the people at top of the company and the big cheeses won, so we had lunch in a windowless room instead.

if you are interested in what i didn't see, see the bt tower category where you can see what i sawed when i sawed it before

here is the big building was the inspiration for some of Orwell's 1984 seen from BT Tower. It's Senate House (see link for details on the 1984 connection

Battersea Powerstation was featured in a film version of 1984, and here it is also seen from BT Tower

this photo is quite dense so is worth clicking for the big version. it's a shame about the hazy day, but you can make out St Paul's Cathedral, Natwest Tower, the Gherkin and the Docklands in the distance

i was fortunate enough to have another trip up BT Tower yesterday. i took my 'big camera'.

i was really pleased with the detail on some of the photos, but they are too big to post i'm afraid - so you can have the usual shrinky dink versions.

http://www.funkypancake.com/blog/stuff3/2006/04/IMG_9419-thumb.jpg

plenty more photos to come over the next ages.
