London By Night
Saturday was a particularly beautiful November day in London. Unusually beautiful even. With clear skies and warm weather one just could not sit indoors. So I grab my camera and together with a friend head out to snatch us some night photos.
We met at South Bank but because it was too busy decided to go towards St. Katherines Docks. We stopped at London Bridge underground and while exiting the Hays Gallery a beautiful view greeted us. From there we moved towards the docks via London Riverbank and Tower Bridge, stoping along the way.
St. Katherine's Docks didn't turn out to be as photogenic as I thought it would be, or maybe I just didn't get the right shot. After a pint of lager and some good pizza at the Dickens Inn we headed out towards St. Paul's stopping on the Tower Hill riverbank for some shots.
At St. Paul's the Occupy crowd didn't allow for any shots of the cathedral so we moved along the Millennium Bridge. Due to the large number of people still in the area (it was 22:00 already) I got just a "classic" shot of the cathedral and the bridge.
Enjoy. :)

View of the Thames from Tower Bridge. HMS Belfast in mid-center and the London Bridge on the background.
The Tower Bridge raised for the passing to a ship. Due to the long exposure the ship appears only as a trail of light.
