20140520_F0001: Classic Tower bridge view in a cosmic scene

            - This is a wide view on the Tower Bridge in London, and variations of this view is probably shot by countless tourists from around the world. I got some nice red/green light trails from London busses and the shard sticking out to the right, which is nice. What fascinated me is that during this particular time and space, I got a crescent moon just above the shard to the west (right) side of the bridge (I'm facing south) and Jupiter is the bright dot close to the moon. At the same time, which is just after sunset, Mars is about the same height in the sky on the east side (red dot to the left). So I'm happy that I got the moon and two planets in my version of this classic view.
