This is the view from my window at work. I am disappointed the camera doesn't capture it really. I plan to get another of a winter sunset, which is stunning.
What I really wanted to display did not come out as well as I had hoped. In the second pic it is possible to see both Tower Bridge and Big Ben in the same eyeshot. I cannot think of any other place in London you can see both Tower Bridge and Big Ben in one glance. Westminster is far in the distance to the left of centre. With the naked eye you can just see the clock face but no way could anyone possibly make out the digits or the hands. Tower Bridge is a little closer but because the river winds around behind other buildings it is harder to make out at first. Anyway, didn't work out as I hoped but there it is - my beautiful London Town.
Looking around at other blogs it is easy to see that with all the horrible events going on around the world even friends do not agree on fundamentals. That is ok, there is certainly nothing wrong with disagreeing. Personally I value that because it makes me think. It can only strengthen my own convictions or force me to change them for the better. Either way it is a benefit. With a little luck, we can make this whole damn thing work out. I hope to do that in my little world, and I can only hope you strive to do that in yours. I have always found this to be an incredibly positive and reassuring sentiment.
