Song of the day: Nightlife Baby - The Cars
So, four years in London is almnost up, it is hard to believe that there are things I haven't done. Well, for the most part I have visited every monument and museum and building that I wanted to, and have seen inside a few that very few people get to see. But for someone who likes photography as much as I do, its a poor effort that I haven't been out to get some decent night shots of London before now.
I meet up with my friend Damian at Big Ben at 9pm last night and got cracking on rectifying this problem. The problem with most of London's landmarks is they are some of the most photographed buildings in the world, so it is hard to get a new persective on them. Damian and I spent about 2.5 - 3 hours wandering around both sides of the river finding better or different angles.
After Big Ben and Westminster Palace we headed to Tower Bridge, which is stunning when lit up at night. Not so many angles to be had here, and it was pushing past 1 in the morning by the time we finished. So after a couple of beers on at the only open bar in the area, the Hilton, we headed home, passing back past Westminster Palace, which had its lights out. Lucky we went there first then.
