Photographer's Note
From the left bank of the River Thames, in the area of the Tower of London, you can enjoy a beautiful view towards the other shore, with an interesting architecture of contemporary buildings, which with their lighting stand out on the sky still a little blue, at dusk. In this photo you can see on the left the City Hall building, and on the right The Shard.
Wikipedia Info:
City Hall is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority (GLA), which comprises the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. It is located in Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. It was designed by Norman Foster and opened in July 2002, two years after the Greater London Authority was created.
The building has an unusual, bulbous shape, purportedly intended to reduce its surface area and thus improve energy efficiency, although the excess energy consumption caused by the exclusive use of glass (in a double facade) overwhelms the benefit of shape. A 500-metre (1,640 ft) helical walkway ascends the full ten stories. At the top is an exhibition and meeting space called "London's Living Room", with an open viewing deck which is occasionally open to the public. The walkway provides views of the interior of the building, and is intended to symbolise transparency.
The Shard, is a skyscraper constructed in Southwark's district in London. It is the highest skyscraper of United Kingdom and of the European Union. It is located in the same place where there was the buildings Southwark Towers, which were demolished in 2006.
The tower has 306 meters of height and 73 floors. The building, a work of the Italian architect Renzo Piano, has been designed by an irregular triangular form from the base up to the top part. It has been totally covered with glass. In the last plant there is a viewing-point and an a terrace of observation outdoors, opened to the visitors, when they pay 29,90 pounds, from February 1, 2013. The structure was completed in April, 2012, and opened the doors on public July 5, 2012.
The building is a property of the State of Qatar, that has spent 95 % of 450 million pounds that has cost the construction.

Desde la orilla izquierda del Río Támesis, en la zona de la Torre de Londres, se puede disfrutar una hermosa vista hacia la otra orilla, con una interesante arquitectura de edificios contemporáneos, que con su iluminación se destacan sobre el cielo todavía un poco azul, al anochecer. En esta foto se puede ver a la izquierda el edificio del City Hall, y a la derecha The Shard.
Info Wikipedia:
El Ayuntamiento de Londres es la sede de la Autoridad del Gran Londres (GLA), que se compone del Alcalde de Londres y la Asamblea de Londres. Se sitúa en Southwark, en la orilla sur del Río Támesis, cerca del Puente de la Torre. Fue diseñado por Norman Foster y abrió en julio de 2002, dos años después de que se creara la Autoridad del Gran Londres.
El edificio tiene una extraña forma bulbosa, supuestamente destinada a reducir su superficie y por tanto mejorar su eficiencia energética, aunque el exceso de consumo de energía provocado por el uso exclusivo de cristal en una fachada doble sobrepasa el beneficio de la forma. Una escalera helicoidal de 500 m, que recuerda a la del Museo Solomon R. Guggenheim de Nueva York, asciende toda la altura del edificio. En la cima del edificio de diez plantas hay un espacio de exposiciones y reuniones llamado "London's Living Room", con una mirador abierto ocasionalmente al público. La escalera ofrece vistas del interior del edificio, y pretende simbolizar la transparencia.
The Shard (en español, 'La esquirla'), es un rascacielos construido en el distrito de Southwark en Londres. Es el rascacielos más alto de Reino Unido y de la Unión Europea. Está ubicado en el mismo lugar donde se encontraban los edificios Southwark Towers, que fueron demolidos en 2006.
La torre tiene 306 metros de altura y 73 pisos. El edificio, obra del arquitecto italiano Renzo Piano, ha sido diseñado con una forma irregular triangular desde la base hasta la parte superior. Ha sido totalmente revestido en vidrio. En la última planta hay un mirador y una terraza al aire libre de observación abierta al público, previo pago de 29,90 libras esterlinas desde el 1 de febrero de 2013. La estructura fue completada en abril 2012, y abrió las puertas al público el 5 de julio de 2012.
El edificio es propiedad del Estado de Catar, que ha desembolsado el 95 % de los 450 millones de libras que ha costado la construcción.

Hello Josep,
A great night shot from London with this area of modern architecture on the other side of the Thames. The warm lights of the office buildings are great and nicely reflected in the water and the Shard looks as beautiful as ever. Great work!

Hi Josep,
Impressive view of a darkening November afternoon from the City. It is not very late as there's light on almost every window. Reflections on the river look good too.

Bonjour, cher ami Josep,
Les photos nocturnes sont toujours très difficiles à réaliser.
Ici, la récompense à travers cette image est très méritée.
Voir cet ensemble d'immeubles illuminés et la partie supérieure de la tour semblable à un pyramidion est magnifique.
Quant aux reflets portés sur la Tamise, c'est un grand plus.
Bravo !
Amitiés.

Hello Josep,
A very attractive photo of London by night. The dark clouds really makes the lights from the buildings even more impressive and accentuates their reflections in the river. It's a very well exposed and nicely balanced photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Josep
due belle foto, l'atmosfera è magica, tutte le luci accese sembrano essere d'oro e il loro alone si rispecchia sul Tamigi.
Gran bel lavoro (come sempre).
Buona domenica

Hi Josep
It seems there is now a wall to wall row of medium high rise buildings on the southbank in the vicinity of the Shard, or maybe I just never noticed them all before? A superb blue hour shot with good sharpness & nice reflections. Tfs!

Maravillosa toma nocturna de las luces de la ciudad y sus reflejos en el agua, con un trocito del cielo aun más clara destacándose en la composición! Muy buen manejo de la luz e excelente nitidez! Lindo trabajo!
