This is at Hyde Park, near the Princess Diana memorial fountain. Those clouds were harbingers of a steady, heavy downpour that I did not factor into my walk back to the hotel

Df and 35 2.8 PC-Nikkor.
Samy,
I did factor in the 5-day weather forecast and chose the better afternoon to meet up with you (was a better choice work-wise as well)
D610 & 105/2.5 PC. Two frame portrait pano of "The City of London"
One of the last photos I took with the Nikkor-N.C 35 1.4 before I sold it. What's funny is it's actually very sharp wide open, unlike the other 35 1.4's I've owned.
The light was gorgeous.
We were 8 floors up, looking out from an open-air viewing gallery.
It was the first time I had been in the newly opened part of the Tate Modern.
It worked out rather well because there was also a coffee shop where we grabbed a warm drink whilst waiting for the sun to set.

Nice pano Colin - just a pity about the distortion of the building on the right.
Peter,
Distortion? - it actually looks like that.
It is known as the "walkie-talkie" building.
Not sure if your statement was in jest and you omitted a smiley?
I will second Colin's assertion that the building really is crooked One thing I really liked about London is its mix of very modern architecture with the older, ornate structures.
Here's an attempt at keeping the lines of Buckingham Palace straight. 28 3.5 PC, probably shifted all the way up, with Df.

Don't tell Prince Charles about liking the mix of architectural styles, he hates things like the new National Gallery building. He'd rather have everything in a tasteless pastiche of 'Georgian' or 'Classical'.
I like both of yours pictures of London, a city I know well,but it often takes a visitor to see good pictures, well done.

It's a lovely shot and I thought I'd have a little fun Looking for the British sense of humour ... thought I'd get something akin to "rude letter follows".
Thanks for the likes and comments on my previous set.
Leighton, really beautiful light in your sunrise shot.
Jay, nice work with the 45mm.
Samy, nice to see your shots from London!
Ken, beautiful shunset at the beach.
Scott, love that first one with the lighthouse.
Rafael, I´ve seen on the news about the wild fires you are having in California right now. It loks really scary. Hope you be able to take it out asap. Real heroes are working hard and risking their lives. Well captured.
Colin, love the pano, City of London. Just beautiful!
Joseph, I kind of feel the same about my old K-version 35/1.4. It was a really good lens. And I sold it Nice shot!
On the way to Hyde Park, this entrance to Imperial College looked intriguing enough to stop and line up for a snap, despite the drizzle. Df and 35 2.8 PC.
Thank you for the likes and comments, I appreciate it!
Scott always like the lighthouse scenes you share!
Ken great capture ... yes the infrastructure is decaying.
Samy and Colin love the photos you made whilst in London ... and yes Peter I saw you're humor which was very humourous indeed!
Jose more great captures indeed.
Joseph please contribute more. You have a special knack for capturing the moment.
More from Long Boat Key, taken on the last day when temps crawled into the 70's (22C) and people started playing on the beach. These are taken from a spot where we ate an expensive lunch with a seaside view.
One thing I really liked about London is its mix of very modern architecture with the older, ornate structures.
Nice shot!
