11/12/13: fog over London

A trio of photos taken yesterday morning as the morning fog started to disperse over London. To the left of the aerial on Honor Oak Hill you can gradually see Canary Wharf begin to emerge from the gloom. 

London: threatening skies

Canary Wharf enveloped in the gloom

Photos from last Friday afternoon when it looked like we might get a big storm but it seemed to come to nothing, although perhaps the rain all fell in east London.

Some London scenes

Mist beyond Horniman's Museum and Park with Canary Wharf: 14.11.2005

Top of the Shard taken from Druid Street: 14.1.2012 am

Close up of the top of the Shard: 14.1.2012 am – Druid Street

The two photos of the Shard were taken using a pocket sized Canon SX210, which has a remarkable zoom. The Shard was probably three quarters of a mile away from where I took these two pics without a tripod.

The Shard also from Druid Street, London SE1

Some taken on 12.1.2012 around the Tower of London after the Corney & Barrow tasting:
