Highbury Station Road: changes over time

I happened to be meeting a friend for lunch outside Highbury and Islington Underground Station last Friday and had some time to kill, so I walked round the corner, where it was less busy, looking for something to photograph.

I remembered taking a picture years before in Highbury Station Road - when I was still new to photography and still thought HDR was the best thing ever. This is the photo I took then. I was deliberately aiming for a spooky, timeless feel.
