Sea Containers

photo 638
A busy day, got through a pile of stuff at work, few conference calls which I managed to finish quickly and headed out of work at 3.30pm to meet Rosa and gang along the Southbank for a few beers. Wandered about for a while and headed up towards St.Paul's to make our way home to watch the Olympics opening ceremony. Really great atmosphere everywhere, just loving it! Didn't have a huge amount of time for shots today - took this coming out of Blackfriars...an enormous hanging from the Jubilee celebrations over Sea Containers House

ooh, you got a good shot at that. I've been eyeing it up as worth doing, but not got anywhere I could get anything worth having.

Fascinating. Has a touch of the cult of magnificence.

Great shot - perfect aspect. The London 2012 buzz has permeated the whole country it seems - it certainly has around us in the NW.

So glad to get to share the Olympic fervor hearing about it through 365ers. Love how you processed this

Are my eyes playing tricks? The photo looks like it's processed in sepia, but the building to the right looks reddish, and the royal family looks b&w. I thought sc for the building, but couldn't figure out the b&w! I wondering: 1. How did you do this?
2. Do I need to make an appt. with my eye doctor? Glad you're enjoying all the festivities around town - Who are you seeing play basketball?

@sparkleplenty1 ha ha, no you don't need an eye doctor! The huge hanging is indeed B&W and the building is red brick type. The day was very grey so when I cross processed this is changed the blue/greyness of the sky slightly sepia - the Thames was a little brown today too!! Got quarter finals for BB so depends on who gets through!!
