Some nice oblongs that have brought joy to my eyes this week.

Bit obsessed with the unconventional composition of The Thames at Hammersmith by David Murray Smith, 1930; the geometric forms of the industrial buildings, framing this massive empty space in the centre of the image. And the light! Just wonderful. Curious to know if this is an identifiable stretch of the river – probably converted into luxury apartments – or if it’s all been flattened.
