7Artisans manual lens at F1.2. You may wish to associate this image with a person of your choice. I have reason to relate this to the British Prime Minister, to the Secretary of Education and other illustrious members of the Government in London.
This was looking West at the sunset. The storm was directly overhead and heading into the sunset. The forked lightening was flashing at regular intervals across this scene but I just wasn't quick enough to catch it which is a great shame as it was amazing 13/06/2020

Not actually from the London Flickr Photowalk around Shadwell and Wapping back in February but taken about twenty minutes afterwards as I continued walking along the river as darkness fell. I managed to take a few dark and moody shots of London including this view towards the Shard skyscraper.

From Wikipedia "The Shard, also referred to as the Shard of Glass, Shard London Bridge and formerly London Bridge Tower, is a 95-story skyscraper, designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano, in Southwark, London, that forms part of the Shard Quarter development. Standing 309.7 metres (1,016 ft) high, the Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, the tallest building in the European Union, the fifth-tallest building in Europe and the 96th-tallest building in the world. It is also the second-tallest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom, after the concrete tower of the Emley Moor transmitting station. It replaced Southwark Towers, a 24-story office block built on the site in 1975.
The Shard's construction began in March 2009; it was topped out on 30 March 2012 and inaugurated on 5 July 2012. Practical completion was achieved in November 2012. The tower's privately operated observation deck, The View from The Shard, was opened to the public on 1 February 2013.The glass-clad pyramidal tower has 72 habitable floors, with a viewing gallery and open-air observation deck on the 72nd floor, at a height of 244 metres (801 ft). The Shard was developed by Sellar Property Group on behalf of LBQ Ltd and is jointly owned by Sellar Property (5%) and the State of Qatar (95%) The Shard is managed by Real Estate Management (UK) Limited on behalf of the owners."

Charlestown is the last open 18th Century Georgian harbour in the UK and is proud to be a UNESCO world heritage site.
When you enter Charlestown Harbour you are transported back in time. The Harbour has a unique history and geography and remains a vibrant working port, with classic tall ships, beautiful beaches and great places to eat and drink whilst enjoying the breath-taking views. The Harbour’s UNESCO listing is part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape.
Yes, yes, yes, says "Boris". But only temporary. And, in the long run, good for you. Squeeze now, but in the future "we" (well, perhaps not you) will have a glorious UK economy, high-tech, high-skill, high-wage and high on productivity! To achieve this, Boris says, sacrifices have to be made (well, you will have to sacrifice yourself). Bad news then for Tom, Dick and Harry.
