Yes nice that they haven't buried St Paul's in tower blocks. Nice riverside shot. The Thames looks a lot bluer than I remember it :)

I know what you are saying... we especially in the midwest and west don't know how new our cities look....

Ajay from Pune, India

Gives quite a panoramic view with the delightful lighting. Looks like busy part of water.

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

It's like the city is divided in half. Better than mixed in side by side. I always hate that. I like how you've captured this across the water.
