20111231 Changing City

A boat passes in between Billingsgate and Southwark, on the River Thames, with the growing City of London behind.

In the foreground is Custom House, a former customs collection duties. The building is still owned and operated by HMRC, though there are plans to close and sell the building. Behind it, from left to right you can see the art-deco inspired 20 Gracechurch Street (aka the R2-D2 building), the rising core of the Fenchurch Building (aka the Walkie-Talkie), Plantation Place, 110 Bishopsgate (aka the Heron Tower), Tower42 (aka the NatWest Tower), 30 St Mary Axe (aka the Gherkin), and the gothic silhouettes of Minster Court.

Long exposure, shot with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
