lovelondonscenes 150 – A mist hangs over the City

Posted on November 17, 2018 by

I was walking along the river yesterday lunch time, heading for the Tate Modern. I liked this scene near Blackfriars railway bridge, of the City caught in a low cloud or mist. St Paul’s stands aloof. In black and white.
