Went to work early one December morning to catch sunrise, and struck lucky with an eerie Thames smog. The mist was swirling fast around the Shard and Millennium Bridge, and wonderful to have a relatively empty London.

Nice stormy sky for this zoom photo from the Thames embankment, of the Houses of Parliament (Victoria Tower) and the Millennium Wheel. Looks like a sunset, but was actually mid afternoon.

Art deco facade of Hay's Wharf near London Bridge. This shot took me by surprise as Hay's Wharf faces north on the Thames, blocked from sun from the west by London Bridge. I was there shooting the saturated sunset colours lighting up Tower Bridge, and suddenly noticed that the glass windows of Hay's Wharf were reflecting the golden tones of the sun-flushed architecture on the opposite bank.
