The nights in London are now long and dark with the onset of winter. Just a short while ago, summer was breathing its last gasp on the embankment of the River Thames close to the iconic and imposing Palace of Westminster. The building caught the last vestiges of sunlight, while people went about their business – tourists took photographs as joggers passed by. There was even a wedding shoot taking place. Most noticeable of all was the green leaves of the trees, lush and intact. How different things are now…

A terrific insight Mike and I particularly like the photos “Democracy”, “Democracy Tower”, “Six Fifteen”.
Thank you very much as always, James, I’m glad you like it. Precious little of that with today’s persistent rain and that early darkness…
Weirdly, during all my years living in and visiting London, I’ve never been THAT side of the St Thomas’ wall… I really must do that sometime! Great images! :D
Thanks Richard. Yes, I found it a great vantage point which was especially good for the candids on the path below!

Beautiful series with some great variety :)
Thanks a lot for sharing, Mike :)
Thank you Sreejith. I hope you enjoyed some moments in the shadow of one of London’s famed landmarks.
Absolutely, Mike :)
Beautiful photos from London, Mike!
Thank you so much, Koos! That seems like an age ago – this morning it’s dank and quite foggy (a la Sherlock Holmes)…
London is the city of Sherlock, so it’s logical ;-) Here, the sky is blue and the sun is shining!
I’m sure the Netherlands has its fair share of mist and fog too :)
It has, but not today. Yay!!!
