London’s ever-changing skyline
From a photographer’s point of view, it’s always exciting when a new building is completed. This time, the excitement is tinged by a little sadness, as the new Cheese Grater (on the right, otherwise known by its nickname, The Leadenhall Building) now obscures the wonderful outline of the Gherkin from this angle.

Here comes the sun!

One of the classic views of London… clear sky at sunset. Even more stunning at the beginning of Spring, after the dark days of Winter.
City Hall’s Helical Staircase

Flying Saucer Spotted in Financial District!
No… No… wait, it’s just the entrance to the Canary Wharf Jubilee Line Underground Station. Phew! NEW! Available as a Print or Poster at www.London-Prints.com
St Paul’s and The City
I’m sure I could come up with some clichéd words about dark clouds hanging over The City, but I shall resist the temptation! NEW! Now available as Prints or Posters at www.London-Prints.com

An early commuter strolls across the Millennium Bridge towards St. Paul’s Cathedral. This image is now available at our www.London-Prints.com site in two versions, here and here.
