yesterday




I was at work yesterday, Friday. My friend Charlie knows how much I like to gaze out of the window at the setting sun, so yesterday he suggested we take a trip to the 10th floor (the top floor) and see the sunset there. Well by the time we'd got there and checked the coast was clear for us to venture onto the balcony we'd kind of missed the sun set, but hey what a view! It was amazing, up high looking out over London at some of the best landmarks; Parliament, Big Ben, the Wheel, the Bridges, the river, the Shard, the Gherkin, Canary Wharf, St Paul's and more. It was strange, as though floating over the city, the sounds were different I could hear trains crossing the bridges and other more mechanical sounds, no voices, no people. Quite beautiful.


Shame I didn't have a better camera, just my phone.

  2. Lovely view! I think you should return to the 10th floor with a proper camera - I know I would. Kristina

  3. Andrea, Thank you for your little surprise!

    Kristina, yes your right, I must. Though long story but our proper camera broke (kaput) so I'm saving for a new one - soon I hope!

    Thanks for your comments :)
