Night Towers

Here's yet another view of the Canary Wharf development - this time taken from South Quay (next to the floating Chinese restuarant for those in the know)...

The two large towers to the left are the pan peninsula apartments - I believe Europe's tallest residential block. One bed flats start at £400,000... in-house cinema, gym, restuarant etc... I'll take 2 please...

The red sky is caused by me messing about with the in-camera settings. This was taken using the 'candle mode'...

Spent the day on a disciplinary training course... Sounds boring but was actually quite a laugh (yep... we took it seriously...don't think the trainer was too impressed...).

Best news of the day tho was finding out we get an extra Bank Hol next year thanks to the royal wedding... suddenly I'm a fan :-)

[Sue Stephenson (Swazzette)]

Very nice city shot...even WITH the nuclear red glow in the sky. *teehee* Congrats on the extra holiday. Geesh! Wondering why we didn't get the day off when Chelsea Clinton got married?

[Richard Tyson]

Another great cityscape. Is that definite about the extra bank hloiday?

[andy c]

@Swazzette Ha Ha... wel... you guys did decide to kick out the royals :-)

[Sue Stephenson (Swazzette)]

Ummm...yeah, well....there is that. :-)

[andy c]

@rich57 Cheers Rich... Yep... it's true..

[Richard Tyson]

@andycoleborn Excellent, god bless the royals!!!!!

[Michelle Sheils]

I second that, God bless the Royals and their lovely bank holiday wedding :). Fabulous shot Andy.

[Constance Brinkley]

Your night shots are so good. I am very jealous. I am going to work on some this holiday weekend. Love the clarity and detail of your shots. I love how quickly your tune changes about the Royals when there is some benefit for you! That made me laugh. Enoy the 29th of April off!

[andy c]

@seattle Thanks Constance.. Ha Ha yep... Us Brits will do anything for a day off :-)... As for night shots, getting lots of practice because of the dark evenings, although am getting a little bored snappping the wharf every other night :-). Best of luck this weekend...

[Andrea Freeman]

Sorry to jack your thread with some one elses (same guy I showed you last time) but sure you can apprecicate them!

[andy c]

@azza_l so you're my neighbour.... :-)

top shots aren't they.. want to get to the top of a tower at some point..

[Aaron L]

unless you know anyone dont think you can get to the top, I read that you can dine in the resturants though.

[andy c]

@azza_l maybe not this one, but work has a 25 story block in shadwell... might try to get up top one afternoon once it's dark

[Shannon Pitton]
