Before heading off to Greenwich I also visited another photographic exhibition at Somerset House called ' Landmark - The Fields of Photography'. From there I walked eastwards along The Embankment towards St Paul's Cathedral, The City of London and the Financial Sector. At Tower Bridge I used the Docklands Light Railway to Cutty Sark, the nearest station for The Maritime Museum. I very much enjoyed seeing areas of London which I had not visited before and here are a slection of images I took that day.
A view of The Shard from The Millenium Bridge |
A mix of 'old and new' - St Pauls Cathedral and its reflection in the contemporary buildings of One Change |
The Lloyds Building - home of the Insurance Company LLoyds of London |
The Lloyds Building frames another more recent icon in the City - The Gherkin |
The Gherkin or as it is formally known as 30 St Mary Axe |
I also wanted to try my hand at some abstract geometric compositions of the the modern office blocks which are now starting to dominate the London skyline.
........and finally an older couple walked hand in hand up the ramp leading to the Millennium Bridge. I assume they too were enjoying the sights and sounds of this remarkable city.
