I took this photo with my iPhone through the window from an office on Millbank, near the Tate Britain. I like the layers: the tree, the river, Lambeth Bridge and Palace and then the towers of the City and, of course, the Shard, just over the water…

Nice one, John. I particularly like the contrast between Lambeth Palace – the oldest bit of which dates from 1435, says Wiki – and the increasingly whacky 21st century skyline beyond.
