The trip to Battersea Power Station pt1

Last weekend, Tony and l decided to go and visit the latest Battersea "Pop-Up "Event! While we were waiting for a bus, we saw a road /pavement cleanup truck.... on a Sunday?!!!! 


The first view of Battersea Power Station. This is one of the nicest views l have seen of this wonderful building in a  long time.


Don't see one for ages then two roll up! :)


So this is where Nimo ended up!


Don't know why l love lines and rust but l love the stuff!


We got off this bus at the stop we thought was the right one....it wasn't!


After we got off the bus, we walked around a bit and then found a map! yeah! Looked though a gate and look what l saw.


Um...l  promise we are still in Battersea!


Love the design they use for this home.


Interesting sign!


We looked for the temporary bridge and then there it was. But it was the wrong end...if you see what l mean! :)


The arrow points the way!


Proof of shipping going on here!


This building can sometimes appear to be very powerful and threatening!


An Art Intervention!


The walkway leading up to the "Pop-in" area.


This dad was having a race with his son..they were going quite fast actually. Great to see.



For the whole time l have lived in london, which is around 13 years, l have wanted to get near this rusty crane. And today l managed it, l was SO excited.


It didn't disappoint!













What l would do to wrap this in fabric and see what rust patterns appear!
More tomorrow.

My walk to a bus stop and a few extra bits!


Today l decided to photograph every flower l saw, from my front door to catching my bus! I know this isn't a flower but l had never noticed it before! 




I never realised that lilac could be white!





First l saw these purple pansies....


....then l saw these really dark purple pansies.


Then l saw these amazing orange and brown pansies.





I know they are weeds but l really like dandelions, in flower and in seed!







I don't know what these flowers are called but l am in love....!




In the next picture you will see why l am holding this flower, so you can see it. 



These are perfect in my view.



This is the entranced to my estate...never knew there were so many flowers on my route to the gate. There are other ways to walk, so many more gorgeous flowers to see on another day.


Still taking images...on the way to the bus stop.


Isn't this green gorgeous?


There were bees every where today.


This is still the walk to my bus...would never think l lived in London, would you!


On a yellow line!


Bluebells.


Look what l found in the woods!




                                       Just love the way this branch curves down towards the pavement!






I know these next few images are not flowers but l thought they were interesting!




I have reached town......Love this image on this pub's interior wall.


                                       I have christened my new jeans, with orange acrylic paint!
