lovelondonscenes – 47

Posted on March 6, 2014 by John S

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…

About John S

I'm blogging about the things I love: music, sport, culture, London, with some photos to illustrate aspects of our wonderful city. I’ve written a novel called “The Decision”, a futuristic political thriller, and first of a trilogy. I’m also the author of a book on music since the 1970s called “ I Was There - A Musical Journey” and a volume of poetry about youth, “Growin’ Up - Snapshots/ Fragments”. All available on Amazon and Kindle.

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.

In that regard, I hear they’ve found a solution to the problem of the concentrated heat rays reflecting from the Walkie Talkie building, which led to that partially-melted Jaguar last summer. That side of the building is still shrouded, as you can just about make out.
