A 'wide and low' take of The Lloyds Building (includes the Willis Building to the left) on Lime Street, home of the insurance underwriters in the heart of the financial district.
Another neck wrenching shot between the high risers at 'More London'.
This is 'Number One London Bridge', a prestigious address apparently, but more to the point a great building to photograph. There's sharp symmetry to play with here and also some reflected reflections going on, which creates a quite confusing picture that's challenging to figure out at first.....well it is for me anyway.
Another neck wrenching 'straight up the middle' shot between the high risers at 'More London'. Passenger planes are passing over here at the rate of about one every three minutes so I didn't have to wait too long to get what I came for.
Batmans headquarters situated in the 'More London' area. I was politely asked to desist from photographing here by a large security guard.... which only confirmed my suspicions. Why else would they ask me to leave?
Dawn at the Millennium Bridge looking across to St. Paul's Cathedral. Not a soul around...perfect!
Daybreak at the 'More London' development on the Southbank of the Thames.

The 'Queen Elizabeth II Great Court' at the British Museum, London. Where old meets new.

The towering monster in the background on the right is the controversial 'Walkie Talkie' building (it looks vaguely like a huge two way radio) which hit the news headlines recently for melting expensive German cars, scorching neighbouring buildings and setting fire to mens beards. This fiery outrage was a result of reflected sun rays from its top heavy concave surface, it's since been renamed locally as the 'Walkie Scorchie! Just be careful if you're in the Leadenhall area on a summers day.
I leaned in hard against the wall of the brick building (that you can see in the top of the picture) for this one, nearly strained my neck getting the angle of the camera just right but I like the way it turned out. London, UK.
The Millennium Bridge is a colourful place at night, this iconic view across to St. Paul's Cathedral is quite spectacular with the dome lit up by two massive search lights.

The weird and wonderful City Hall Building caught in the early morning sunshine. The building is referred to by various names: The Melted Egg, The Onion, The Woodlouse, and my favourite....The Glass Gonad!
Some interesting reflections looking down through the 'One New Change' shopping centre next to St.Paul's Cathedral.
The 'Queen Elizabeth II Great Court' at the British Museum is where old meets new.

An eye catching modern apartment block (at eye watering prices) on New Concordia Wharf, London. It's red, it's on the wharf....cue another naff title ;-)

Another example of modern redevelopment melding with the old, this is part of the new western concourse which was completed in 2012 at King's Cross Station.
