Well, it looks as though it should have been. In fact, I took this shot yesterday. Not only that, amazingly the location is in central London. I came across it while wandering around the Paddington Basin, a terminus of the Grand Union Canal, and was astonished to find these old buildings complete with narrow boats moored alongside. The whole area is being redeveloped and I doubt they will be there for much longer. It is surprising what you can discover when you go exploring.
There was one nod towards the past in the making of this image. Though mounted on a modern digital camera, the lens used is a Minolta MD Zoom 35-70 f/3.5 which I was trying out. It was manufactured at some point between 1981 and 1983, so is around 35 years old. Despite its age, it turned in a pleasing performance.
