Recently one of my friends made a joke, saying that I am The River Thames' personal photographer. Basically he was eluding to the fact that the vast majority of my snaps include the Thames... and upon further inspection by myself, I realised this is true! So, for a change here is a London Scene without the Thames. In view is St Mary Axe (or the Gerkin) and some London buses zooming by on their daily business of picking people up.
I went for sunset and happy I did. Although you can't see much of the sunset (at least not as much as you would near the river), the sky was a gentle orange and pink hue. It was a freezing evening. But happy I ventured out :)

I was making the best of the sunshine in Glasgow - there were lots of deep black shadows and every building in the financial district glowed with amazing reflections. Hopefully I managed to get some of that vibe in. Was also delighted it was accepted into the LFI online gallery Architecture / Cityscape

Empty Oculus, World Trade Center Transportation Hub, during the coronavirus pandemic, Financial District, Manhattan, New York City, USA, ...

¿Por qué el Oculus se llama "el Oculus"?
El nombre proviene de la franja de ventanas, o tragaluces, a lo largo de la columna vertebral del techo. Oculus es la palabra latina para "ojo", que, en arquitectura, se refiere a una abertura redonda o similar a un ojo con vista al cielo. Eche un vistazo a través de las ventanas y verá Freedom Tower.
Es una vista inspiradora.
Esta abertura también permite que entre la luz del sol cada mañana. El ángulo de las ventanas está particularmente colocado para que cada año, en el aniversario de los ataques, el sol brille directamente a través de la claraboya e ilumine el salón principal a las 10:28 am (hora del derrumbe de la segunda torre). Se llama el "Camino de la Luz". Calatrava colocó el edificio ligeramente inclinado con respecto a la cuadrícula de la calle para lograr el efecto.
Si bien el diseño complejo fue responsable de varios retrasos en la construcción, el edificio es ahora un destino habitual para los visitantes de la Zona Cero. A la gente le encanta tomar fotos dentro y alrededor de la estructura monumental.
“Now, after the Federal Reserve quietly admitted gold is replacing the U.S. dollar, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned of a ‘striking’ decline in the U.S. dollar’s share of allocated foreign reserves of central banks and governments.”
“At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.”
“At the BRICS summit in Kazan, a symbolic banknote featuring the flags of member nations was unveiled, sparking discussions on creating alternatives to the US dollar and fostering a more independent economic system.”
Ruth 3:1 “Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi, told her, ‘My daughter, should I not make inquiries about your financial security, so you’ll be better off in life?’”
The architectural masterpiece that of course is the well photographed Lloyds Insurance building flanked by other buildings which in part make up the financial district in London.
