Burgh House . July 2006

Photomovie : Hampstead . 5.50 mins
Music : The Farewell by Douglas Trowbridge from the album Songs Unspoken

If you happen to be in the centre of Hampstead and fancy a cuppa, the Buttery at Burgh House is the place to visit. Burgh House has been here since the beginning of the 18th century, when Hampstead was beginning to develop into a retreat for the London rich. In 1979, after a local campaign, the Burgh House Trust was formed, with the Buttery providing lunches and teas in the basement, and the Hampstead Museum being developed on the first floor. The house has recently been restored and refurbished, with new exhibition spaces, an extension to the Buttery, and the Hampstead Museum is being revamped by design consultants.

Another great slide show. Relaxing music went nicely with photos. Interesting trip through Hampstead.

Twig, I was fiddling around with the web site yesterday - sorting out some uploading problems. It's good the slideshow is working OK now - is it starting reasonably quickly on your system?

Roel, hi and thanks - I would like to sharpen up my macro technique.

'tis late and hot ~ just passing by and liked the thread of road names, the journey; watering cans that I have both versions of (which is sad in a way) AND Express Dairy which we (family) used to have when living in London ... Cafe Rouge? Did we have a beverage there? Bookshop, same/similar as a Nomad ?The 'Well Walk Pottery' and stained glass J would like that...

Twig, still winds, open windows, 80º, no bird songs, the noise of TVs seep through old walls, no sleep today, tomorrow a few words away.
Did you notice the curved wall in Gardnor Road? Sandie Shaw lived there. I used to deliver photo prints up that way on my Lambretta.
Do you remember the Ram Jam in Brixton and Geno Washington?
Maybe write some stories about this sort of stuff .. one day.
The TVs have quietened, a jet passes over, a satellite flies by, the pink window box freesia shudders.

A brilliant slideshow well edited and at last I have my sound back so I can flick through yuor other slides in leisure over a mug of coffee.In this slide you have caught the feel of Hampstead perfectly with apt music.

Hi Stewart, and thank you. It's good news that your PC sound is working again, any idea what went wrong?

stewpic says: A very nice location Tony,next time I give Burgh House a visit I will have a look round the museum section..

Black Dust a.k.a. odonbd says: Elegant point of escape. Still, the assimetrical aspect of the picture helps with the perspective and visual impact. Very nice.

clifsnap10 says: enjoyed slideshow as always.I can see a lot of care went into the shots,did you go back to take some more?

anotherphotograph says: Hi Stewart, maybe the Nomads will revisit the area and could check out the museum next time. It might also be worth looking at the photo collection there, but I think you will possibly need an appointment to see the photographs.

anotherphotograph says: Odon, hi and thanks. I had to get down low for this pic - this sort of image was easier with the swivel screen cameras.

anotherphotograph says: Cliff, I'm glad you managed to see the slideshow .. and enjoyed it. It seemed to take me ages to put this one together, and it got a bit longer than I initially anticipated. I did go back and make some more pics - I was inspired by yours and Stewart's pictures.
