sometimes the best shots just unfold before you and all we have to do is to be ready for them and to press the shutter. excellent capture here -- i hope to see this myself when i'm there in a few months.

Thanks for the pointer to this one, window seats can sometimes give you a totally different view of the world with unusual lighting as an added bonus.

I've had a cople of shots from this particular vantage point, none as good as yours!!

sosij    says:

Wow it is terrific, yes thanks also for the pointer. Fabulous fabulous shot, someone somewhere would kill for this to be used in an editorial way.

algo    says:

Yes! Extraordinary light. You got a great seat there. Almost like it was lit up by your headlights.

Thanks for your visit (I think), and setting me off on a time wasting vanity trip finding mine, and straining my eyes in the process. Basically I'm still astonished at finding mine there, although I know it has more to do with finding time in retirement to comment and fave, than with quality. But a bit of me is also disappointed that it is "only" No. 10 -- I'm used to better ....

This is a really breathtaking photo, good job! It's such a unique angle, I'm looking forward to being able to visit the real thing when I stay in London, the hotel is booked (via Gekko- gekko.com) and my bags are packed. Keep up the great work.
