“Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red”

London’s ever-changing skyline
From a photographer’s point of view, it’s always exciting when a new building is completed.

I think it’s a striking addition to the London Skyline and certainly improves the view of Tower Bridge, distracting the eye away from the ugly Guy’s Hospital building.
