Oh, and I want to thank everyone that visits my stream for your support, since otherwise, I wouldn't have made these :)*************************************************
On a trip to London I couldn't go without getting a skyline shot. I would have preferred to get one at night though!
The London Eye and Guildhall at night. This is one of my favourite parts of London to walk around and people watch. In the summer the park beside the eye is always full of street entertainers, events and other things going on, it's just such a vibrant place to be. The cranes you can see behind the guildhall are part of a new development of apartments being built that most of us will never afford even with a substantial lottery win.
The Gherkin is one of the most iconic buildings in London. It was completed on December 2003 and opened in April 2004. It stands 180 metres tall. Over 35km of steel were used in construction, and 7,429 panes of glass.
Got caught in a brief rainstorm along the Queen's walk our first day of our London Trip. Made for some fun photos!
St Mary Axe is a commercial skyscraper in London's primary financial district, The City. The Gherkin nickname was applied to the current building in 1999.
