From the Top - a photo on Flickriver

From the Top

            This was a quick phone snap from my long awaited visit to the Sky Garden at the weekend. A fantastic place where the views over London are immense, and the wine rather expensive!! (I did not indulge at £9 for a miniscule glass, perhaps that's normal London prices but I got a whole bottle for a tenner at Pizza Union afterwards!) 

I'd highly recommend a visit if you get the chance, photography is a bit tricky as once the interior lights come on there's a lot of glare on the windows, but regardless of that it's an amazing place to sit and watch all the lights come on as London gets ready for dark. 

Edited in Snapseed to disguise the glare and bring a bit of drama and texture to the sky, and because I just can't help myself 😂
