2009-10-05ad Barbican

The towers of the Barbican on a drizzling autumn day, looking almost like mountainous cliffs. Taken while walking from Farringdon to London St Pancras.

The towers are the highest residential points in London, and from this view are (in order of nearness) the Lauderdale Tower, the Shakespeare Tower and the Cromwell Tower.

Taken with a Nikon D40 fitted with a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens.
