Tower Bridge opens for Dixie Queen, a replica of a 19th century Mississippi paddle steamer and one of the largest boats regularly on the River Thames. The bridge was open soon after a dull sunset here, but the low tide enabled me to get to a spot not usually accessible.
Through the bridge you can just see a Christmas tree by City Hall.
We took a cruise on the Themes while on this trip and I got a different perspective of the Tower Bridge. It was a beautiful day with blue skies and white puffy clouds.
On our first trip to London over 40 years ago we actually climbed to the top but at our advanced age this view was good enough.
Enjoy.

Tower of the parish church in Trumpington, a village just south of Cambridge.
The church is dedicated to Mary and Michael, with its oldest parts dating to around 1200. The tower is somewhat younger (ca 1330), and the whole church saw extensive renovation work in the 19th century - most notably by the Gothic Revival enthusiast William Butterfield (which I am sure impacted the work done).

Cabot Tower a historical landmark located on Signal Hill a National Historic site in the City of St. John's on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
Cabot Tower is a tower in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, situated on Signal Hill. Construction of the tower began in 1898 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland, and Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message at a position near the tower, the letter "S" in Morse Code sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Cabot Tower is now the centre of the Signal Hill National Historic Site of Canada,] with walking trails and an interpretation centre.
Located at the highest point of Signal Hill, overlooking the city and the ocean, Cabot Tower is an example of late-Gothic Revival style. Built of irregularly coursed red sandstone, it is composed of a two-story, 30 foot, square structure with a three-story, 50 foot octagonal tower that stands on the southeast corner of the building. The corners are buttressed at the first floor level and further emphasized through the use of heavier blocks of stone. On the main body of the building, at the top of the second storey level, is a line of repeating pattern like an exaggerated dentil row or inverted crenelations. The attached tower, which houses the main entrance, is very plain with a double string course marking the divisions between second and third storeys and heavy corbel tables marking the eight corners of the turret at the flared upper level. The windows on both the corner turret and the body of the tower proper are rectangular and set under heavy stone lintels.
The architect of Cabot Tower, William Howe Greene, was a prominent St. John's architect and an associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Wikipedia

I was waiting for the sunset light to hit Scrabo Tower tonight and noticed the full moon creeping into shot. The sky was still bright and over exposed so I used a 3 stop ND Grad to darken it down, this let me get the moon into shot.

On the left, the church of St Thomas of Canterbury, built 1874-5. On the right, the tower of the church of St Mary Magdalene. This church was begun in Norman times, with the tower being rebuilt in 1503. The tower is now the only remaining part of St Mary, the rest having been demolished in 1871 with some of the stone being used to enlarge the nearby St George’s which itself was destroyed, apart from its tower, in WW2.
