Let me start by saying I didn't take these!
I've just been forwarded them as part of an ongoing issue with the council about repairs to the roof here (at work).

The three to follow were taken on a beautiful frosty morning and they really appealed to me.

The first shows Blackwall Lane, the main road which runs across the end of the street we are on. Incidentally the view would be different now as a tyre repair company occupies the lot shown as vacant in this picture. You can tell it's morning by a number of indicators - the queueing traffic is one.

The large white structure mid left is my local Odeon, and the hoop which shows across the front of it is in fact the footbridge across the dual carriageway in between. On the same retail park (hard to see - low flat roofs) are my local large supermarkets.

The second picture is looking down Azof Street, our official address. Again the picture now would show flats being built in the vacant space, but pretty much unchanged apart from that.The distant chimney (in between the prop and the spike) is one of four on the disused power station on the Thames.

To reach the position of the previous photo you'd just turn approx 180 degrees.
