[Public] Stunning Nighttime Photos of My City

[kniteracy]

Thanks to publius_ovidius, I have these stunning photos of London at night to share with you.

Tonight, filceolaire and I were walking home after a pleasant evening with aunty_marion, shopping around Seven Dials and then a nice cup of coffee at the Canteen near the Noel Coward Theatre (where we once had coffee right next to Michael Gambon -- and he asked us for the sugar!). We walked through Covent Garden and down across Waterloo Bridge, then caught a bus for home from there. Earlier, I'd remarked to aunty_marion that it's easy to forget I live in the greatest city on earth.

At night, it's easy to remember. One look out over the river is all you need to bring it all home.

Home. I live in the coolest city on earth.

Night photos of cities always seem more exotic to me. More contrast, for one thing, and they get the 'flow' of a city better when I can see the rivers of light. I always like flying over cities at night and seeing the patterns, every city is different. Thanks for the link.

Also... I used one of his photos to create my new background on my computer. These aerial shots are amazing.
