West India Dock

West India Dock when the South Quay developments were being developed. The old barge in the foreground was one of many which still littered the docks at that time. They came in handy for transporting building materials up and down the river.... of course they've all gone now!

I was very interested in the silhouette of the buildings against the skyline, which was changing almost daily. I liked the way the buildings and sky seemed to compete for the same space, the skeletons of the new buildings rising like ribcages against the sky.
