Blue hour shot of the Shard taken from the public viewing platform above the Thames Path near to London Bridge.
I spent so much time concentrating on this shot that I was completely oblivious to the illuminated Tower Bridge lifting to let a tall ship pass.
Thanks goes to James Beard, who made me aware of this great little viewing platform through his photostream.

These incised small polygons within larger polygons are like a reversed version of the raised salt polygons in Death Valley's Badwater Basin.

Badwater Basin, Death Valley California
The salt flats of Badwater Basin are remixed with every major rainstorm. The different amounts of water, drying time, dirt, and salt give rise to different results. My guess here is that the dirt didn’t have time to settle out and so is more visible in these irregular and imperfect polygons.
Polygonia c-album, the comma, is a food generalist butterfly species belonging to the family Nymphalidae. The angular notches on the edges of the forewings are characteristic of the genus Polygonia, which is why species in the genus are commonly referred to as anglewing butterflies.

This image from the Gordii Dorsum region of Mars shows a large area covered with polygonal ridges in an almost geometric pattern.
The ridges may have originally been dunes which hardened (indurated) through the action of an unknown process. Groundwater might have been involved.
Image cutout is less than 5 km (3 mi) top to bottom across and the spacecraft altitude was 278 km (173 mi). For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link.

I've got a lot of different salt polygon pictures from Death Valley! Here's one taken before sunrise, with the crescent moon setting behind the Amargosa Range. The colors here are good, but about 10 minutes after this shot, the colors were amazing (I'll post the picture within the next several weeks). These were the best polygons I could find anywhere in the valley, even after extensive searching. Before the trip, I naively assumed that the salt polygons were easy to find year-round, because of the abundance of pictures around the internet. Wrong! Apparently recent rains destroyed the easily-accessible shapes. I hiked around Badwater Basin and also down to Cottonball Basin, with no luck (these were the 2 spots that most people indicated for salt shapes). My last shot was to explore north of the West Side Road, and with some serendipity I happened across these polygons!
Death Valley itself is really amazing. The bedrock beneath the Amargosa and Panamint Mountains folds beneath the basin, and over time thousands of feet of sediment has collected. The use of gravimeters has shown that the bedrock is more than 9000 ft beneath Badwater Basin, with layers of salt, silt, clay, and dirt filling up the space. Death Valley is actually a basin - water comes in, but doesn't exit; thus, huge amounts of sediments collect here.
