A fantastic moody shot of London’s famous Tower Bridge. While it appears ancient, it is actually a product off Victorian engineering, a drawbridge with a pedestrian walkway across the top. It was built to compliment nearby Tower of London. This photo captures London’s moody skies with a splash of sunlight hitting the bridge itself.
Midway upon the journey of our life / I found myself within a forest dark, / For the straightforward pathway had been lost. Dante, Hell.

Early one January morning, I got out of bed before dawn and headed in to London and the Thames. I knew where I wanted to get the shot from. I set up the tripod and camera and waited. I hoped the sun would be visible, but had nothing more to base the possibility on other than the sky had been red at sunset the night before. My luck was in!
I stand, I stare / I wonder, where? I pray, I breathe / to stay, or leave? I live, I lie / I wonder, why? I love, I pain / I feel the same. I give, I get / and yet, and yet? Shot on Werneth Low, Hyde. Overlooking Manchester City Centre
The Harbour Bridge is iconic for Sydneysiders. The usual image is of a side shot showing the centre span but there are so many possible views other than the tourist one. It can sneak up on you quite unexpectedly. Featured in Urban Art group (3 May09). / Featured in Dimensions (30 May 09). / Featured in Australia!
