The iconic view of the Naval College complex at Greenwich from across the Thames.
The laser light illuminates the path of the Prime Meridian Line across the London sky and originates at the Home of Time, the Royal Observatory behind the College.
Apologies to Rod for pinching his album name but I'm sure you can see why I thought the title suited this image where every reflection seems to show us a different story.
Shot on Waterloo Road in London, right next door to the Hayward Gallery.
During my London wanderings, I enjoyed photographing the many churches I found. When possible, I would also step inside.
Such beautiful buildings - I have to admire the dedication of the people who constructed these beautiful places of worship.

The tiered building furthest away from the camera is a newish building in the Nine Elms area of London, an area that has been completely redeveloped in the last 15 years. I've been trying to get some decent shots of it for a while now. The problem is that it is fairly well enclosed by other buildings, so difficult to get a clear shot of, and also it needs lots of light to get the best out of it, something that has been sadly lacking on my recent visits to the area. So I finally managed it a couple of weeks ago on a photo walk with some fellow photographers from my Camera Club. This was shot with an old vintage Leica zoom lens which in itself needs a lot of light because it's not the fastest but it is really quite sharp and a surprisingly nice lens for shooting architecture.

An architectural shot I took a week ago on a trip into London to see the Sony World Photography awards exhibition at Somerset House. These two buildings are just south of the river, not far from Blackfriars Bridge. I very much liked how the light reflected off the various planes of these imposing glass structures.
Back from our trip, and we were in London! Had a fantastic time in this amazing city with so much to see. 17
