It was a windy day when I took this picture. As this place is always crowded with visitors, to find a spot to do long exposure was not so easy. One hour for one photo...

A tower on the border between Unna / Fröndenberg, NRW, Germany. There is a perfect view to the "Sauerland", "Münsterland" and North-East "Ruhrarea".
We left the Cinque Terre and took the train to Pisa for a night. I loved how the afternoon light made a second row of pillar shadows against the wall.
The bell tower of St. Nicholas Cathedral (known as the flooded bell tower) is a historical and architectural monument on the artificial island of the Uglich reservoir near the town of Kalyazin..The bell tower was built in 1800 under Nikolsky Cathedral (built in 1694) of the former Nikolo-Zhabensky monastery in the style of classicism; had five tiers, a dome with a head and a spire. The bell tower (height 74.5 m) was built in 6 years. It had 12 bells.
By the 1940s, the Volgostroy project was approved, which envisaged the artificial expansion of the Volga River and the creation of hydroelectric power stations in its water area. When the Uglich reservoir was created, the old part of Kalyazin was in the flood zone; the cathedral was demolished, and the bell tower was left as a lighthouse. Immediately, as laden barges began to go along the Volga, it became clear that it was impossible to orient to other signs, since a very sharp turn of the river runs here..On August 18, 2016, 5 new bells were installed on the bell tower; they were cast by special order in the Moscow workshop of Ilya Drozdihin. Now the bell ringing accompanies each service.
Currently, the flooded bell tower is the main symbol of Kalyazin and attracts many tourists. In the summer, regular prayers are held near the bell tower.
The bell tower is part of the Virgin Mary Church on the main street of Megalochori on the island of Santorini.

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.
