The Equinox: when night is as long as day - # 08/224
The great tower at Canary Wharf..... No. 1 Canada Square......an icon of the City of London; at the heart of the world market for financial derivatives, share issues and currency trading.
The sun sets, and casts a powerful light upon an institution that faces "interesting times".
The tower is about 13 miles from Richmond Park. Sometimes it is obscure and indistinct. Sometimes it stands in a glaring light.
Camera: Olympus E3. Telephoto at equivalent of 400mm. Sunset
It looks like anywhere in this country. Skyscrapers. I wonder who dreamed this "going up" architecture thing? They have an awful lot of faith in "bedrock" they can't even see.
ReplyDeleteAn impressive sight those gleaming towers. Seems they're not as solid as we thought..
ReplyDeleteMaybe, for the "towers", night is longer than day - even at the equinox. Tough times for those of us about to retire who are looking to support ourselves rather than look to government for handouts.
ReplyDeleteYou can see a long way from that hill of yourn ...
Wow, perfect timing on this one.
ReplyDeleteThat's remarkably clear from such a distance! Great photo.
ReplyDelete"at the heart of the world market for financial derivatives, share issues and currency trading." I'm sure that was written with your tongue in your cheek
