Finding different places to walk has become our weekend ‘thing’. The first weekend where the lockdown restrictions were lessened we headed into the City, and it was good to wander around old haunts and I’ve yet to share some of the photos here, but I will shortly. And yesterday we headed along the Thames, walking from Woolwich to the Greenwich Peninsula, only really possible with a bus trip at either end. I’d seen online that there was a new art installation on the Peninsula so we were keen to take a look at that first hand.
And we were well rewarded at the end of our walk, and I don’t mean the flat white purchased from one of the pop-up coffee stalls. The sun came out and shone through the rainbow art, the new addition to ‘Turning the Tide’. To be honest, we’d not seen this before; there continues to be much development in this part of our local area but this walkway seems an excellent addition.
The artwork is ‘Hundreds and Thousands’ by Liz West and it’s due to remain here until the end of May according to The Londonist.
It’s great - and we were lucky to experience it in sunshine, chilly sunshine, but sun no less. And that made a huge difference to see the reflection of the colours shine though.
Let alone see them against the textures of the surrounding buildings.
But my favourite shot is this one. Angles, lines and colours - it’s just fabulous.
It’d be great if this could stay around much longer.
