Behind the tower of london

It is always a pleasure for me to visit London and I especially like wondering around the city and down to the river where there are so many narrow streets and nooks and crannies to explore, as well as the magnificent buildings old and new.

We were there today for the Amos Trust day - Amos Trust being a human rights charity which I support and with whom we visited Palestine last year. Challenged by the day, we took the opportunity to walk and talk things through, down to the river to Tower of London and then over tower bridge and back via Borough Market.

This photo was taken at the Tower of London - the turrets shown with the Gherkin building behind (what is that white window all about? ) seemed to me to be perfect for the square format.
Like it

I really like how you have captured the modern, eye-catching Gherkin building behind the historic Tower of London. Very nice! I would love to visit London and explore those narrow streets with nooks and crannies! Sounds like a fabulous adventure to me! Fav! :-)

This is fantastic, I would love to come to London again. I was there for only 10 days, over 10 years ago. I think we are due!

Anything about London is a complete revelation to me. It is a very interesting composition. I like your reason for being there.

The old and the new - a really powerful contrast here. The white window seems to give the impression of light reflecting off the glass!
