Phoenix Wharf, Twickenham riverside

A beautiful warm summer's evening with beautiful light.

This Phoenix did rise from the flames. The previous buildings on this site were completely destroyed by fire a few years ago.

This is part of Eel Pie Island. There used to be a hotel on the island, which was well known in the blues scene during the 60s. The Stones played there, for example. The hotel burnt down as well. It's a bit fire prone over there!

We've seen bats flying over our garden every night recently. I live bats, so that has pleased me a lot.
