Hazuan Hashim’s Winter Whitechapel Skies

February 15, 2014
by the gentle author

While we have walked round with our shoulders hunched and our noses to the ground against the inclement weather of recent months, Hazuan Hashim has raised his eyes to the heavens from the eleventh storey of the tower block where he lives in Whitechapel to photograph these cloudscapes, appreciating the epic drama and beauty in the meteorology that the rest of us merely endure.

    Delighted to see that there’s someone else in Whitechapel who looks up instead of down. I love watching the skies while I wait for people to answer their doors.

    Keep up the brilliant work, Hazuan

    These are so beautiful – I remember commuting in and out of Liverpool Street, and often being struck dumb by the glorious sunrises and sunsets.

    There are some monstrous buildings on that skyline… Such a shame… Mrs F has took some stunning photos of the changing sky over the fields of Lincolnshire when she was studying at art college. In reply to Steve the postman’s comment… Whenever I visit my own city centre or any new place, I always look up rather than down… Ubiquitous shop fronts have stolen the identities of most of our major towns and cities, but what they haven’t masked in many cases is the beautiful architecture above the glass & plastic.
