An old shot I've just got round to processing - (I'm very slow)
This week is the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London so this one seemed appropriate - I've posted a wider shot of this evening before with the old wooden posts in the foreground.
Here I'd zoomed in to 55mm to get more detail in Tower Bridge & the City but had to create a pano to include the Shard & Tower 42.
I particularly liked the burning red reflections in the windows of the Thames Clipper & Tower 42 in this one.
One of those grey overcast days where I wasn't expecting any colour but the Sun broke under the cloud right at the end.
The sky colour was so intense that the raw file was too saturated to need any increase.
The Great Fire of London was started in Pudding Lane by the Royal Baker (inadvertently) in 1666 - so they say.
Luckily very few people were thought to have been hurt & the fire succeeded in sterilising most of the run down slum filled bits of London that had been ravaged by the Great Plague.
For some reason Great Fires, Puddings & Bakers brought 'The Great British Bake Off' to mind.
If you're a fan of the show like my wife - (although I suspect the real reason she watches it is to see the steely eyed scouser - Paul Hollywood) - & you're a serious baker - be sure to turn off the oven before going to bed :))

A major installation by Ik-Joong Kang, one of South Korea's most renowned and celebrated multimedia artists, “Floating Dreams” sits on a barge on London's River Thames, Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016, against a backdrop of the BT Tower and the Millennium Bridge, top, at sunset. Floating Dreams, is a compelling, large-scale installation situated in the centre of the River Thames by Millennium Bridge. Constructed from 500 drawings and illuminated from within, the three-storey-high lantern structure acts as a memorial to the millions displaced and divided during the Korean War (1950-53), and a poignant symbol of hope for the reunification of North and South Korea.

Somewhat exhausted view of Big Ben and Westminster Bridge - but couldn't resist as the sun was setting. Now for some less touristy shots I think...

With the first release of my book tomorrow in the United Kingdom, I have been doing a lot of thinking about why I started this project in the first place. To sum it up in one word, it has always been about perspective. Through space travel or satellites or simply bringing ourselves to a more elevated viewpoint, we can discover new ways to see our world like never before. I think that exercise can be healthy, it can be challenging, and ultimately, it can be beautiful. For me, it has been such an amazing adventure to work on this project and this book and I can't wait to see where it will take us next. Photo courtesy of NASA
In recent years, triple-digit inflation, massive food shortages, rising crime rates, and failing public services in Venezuela have forced many families into difficult decisions. The lack of available and affordable food has led to an increasing number of pets being dropped off at shelters, or simply abandoned in the streets. The Associated Press reports that “Pet owners say the price of dog food has more than doubled in recent months to $2 a pound, more than a day's pay for those earning the minimum wage.” Reuters photographer Carlos Garcia Rawlins and AP photographer Fernando Llano recently documented the growing number of abandoned dogs and cats in Venezuela's parks, shelters, and private clinics.
