London: photos from a bright Sunday


The restored bandstand in the Horniman Park and the remaining autumn colours 

After a wet and windy Saturday followed by a wild Sunday night, the weather has calmed down during Sunday with some good, sharp light during the morning.

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: 

Tower Bridge
 Offices on south bank of Thames – a plane and various birds not dirt on the lens
