All with istD.

Alexandra Palace stands on one of the highest points of London. That's probably why the BBC chose it as the site of their first TV transmisions.

The great window.

From the Palace, you can see right across London. To the right, is Docklands and the Canary wharf tower.

I rather like the third shot of the great window. I think it's the symmetry with the 'oily' colour effects on the glass. I bet it looks great from the inside. The view across London is my favourite I think. I like the juxtaposition of the dark residential area in the foreground with the hazy towers of Canary Wharf in the distance. Good stuff. You have made me think I shall have to venture up there myself

I like the lion's head. full of texture and nicely converted.

I think the circular window might be better if it is made to be circular. I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty at having a quick go. I'll take it down if you wish.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Not at all, Kris... I like it better.

Thank you, Mat.
They sometimes have a tour of the old BBC studios and the theatre, there. You should time your visit for then. Never done the tour myself, despite living only ten minutes away.
