View of the Thames looking west. It's taken from the 80 Strand building which is occupied by the firm I work for. Company folklore has it that Winston Churchill would use the balcony during the Second World War for its clear views both west and east along the river. I can't find verification of this on the internet but have learnt that during the war the building was home to the Ministry of Supply which co-ordinated supply of equipment to the national armed forces. So it's just possible the story is true.
Constructive criticism very much appreciated - keen to learn more and improve. I bought a decent camera in February 2016 and joyed this wonderful space...
@hermann The cloudscape wasn't part of my thinking at the time but you're right it's a good display. @tonygig Thank you, Tony. @chris17 Many thanks for your comment and fave @kwind Thanks a lot @onewing It was. In both directions in fact but I couldn't get both sides in together @yaorenliu Big Ben looking west, I guess. And St Paul's looking east. How London must have changed. He'd be amazed.
