Default To The Tower!

After work yesterday I went down to the river - the weather was weird, it was raining on one side of the bridge where I stood to take this photograph, but not on the other - it's been like that in London for weeks.

Anyway, a shot here of Tower Bridge with HMS Belfast to the right. I think the incredible cloud formations really set off the scene - no pp apart from a bit of sharpening, the clouds really were that dark

Very nice shot. Focus looks nice and clean with a great depth of field. And the clouds do add a bit of extra drama to the image.
