Tower 42 by helenhall

Tower 42

There was a time when the Nat West Tower was the dominant building in the City of London. Indeed, when built it was the tallest building in the United Kingdom. But now it slots in as one of many in the fascinating mix of old and grand against new and shiny in the City Landscape.


In my former life (pre children) I used to regularly attend meetings an various floors and for a while, I swam daily in the pool at the bottom of the tower. But now, I go as a visitor to the City, looking up and down and around in fascination, camera in hand.


I did have some more black and white crocii to show, which I rather like but for fear of being repetitive I have relegated these to my extras album. You will find them here - https://365project.org/helenhall/365-extras/2019-02-27

Nice contrast here.

Love the lines and patterns. The poor tower is getting rather squashed these days isn't it. It works so well in black and white fav

The lines of this photo are very striking and totally bring out the height of all the city buildings. Great shot!

you've captured the scale rather nicely and looks good in mono, a nice narrative too , giving an insight into your former and current life

Really like this! The contrast between old and new, architectural detail and sleek modernism really emphasises the dominance of the building.
