Today’s photo shows 925 years of construction in just one frame.
Tag Archives: London Being lazy, here’s a vertical interpretation of the view to the north-west from Tower Bridge. 
Do enjoy a bit of history of London. Beautiful city with amazing history. Photo is very nice, a well balanced amount of post. May I ask….HDR? But not to a stupid amount.  Today’s photo shows the view west from Tower Bridge from the west walkway, in counterpoint to yesterday’s view to the east. 
[...] my series of images of London, here’s a view North-West from Tower Bridge. Like the photo to the west, this was taken from the west walkway and has been processed through [...]  Today I provide two interpretations of the view to the east from Tower Bridge. The first is a color HDR, the second a black and white interpretation made in the new Topaz B&W Effects 2.1.

The noise from the rain and thunder rendered our seismic recording an exercise in futility so we’d return to camp, and face the prospect of cooking once again. 
Why were you stuck with the Olympus XA in Lybia?
This was when I was in Libya in 1984-86. Shortly before I went someone from inside the Libyan embassy in London had shot and killed PC Yvonne Fletcher so relations were tense. The Libyan police and army were unpredictable at best and the advice from the Foreign office and from my employer was to avoid drawing attention to ones self. Hence the point-and-shoot.

The wheel has 64 spoke cables that work like the spokes of bicycle wheel, holding the rim tight to the spindle in the middle of the wheel.  The best images I’ve seen of London from the Eye have been taken soon after sunrise on a cold, crisp, cloudless, winter’s morning. Great if you happen to be local, a crap shoot if you’re a tourist.  The London Eye currently has EDF Energy as a sponsor. The EDF stands for Electricité de France, of course; just as 20% of the iconic London Buses are operated by Deutsche Bahn – the German railroad company.

I love the rain. Beautiful shot, artistic, a wonderful perspective on a rainy day window. Hugs
