  • Construction and Destruction

    Shot on a cold and foggy January morning during the river’s low tide. So many tourists have a taken photos of this bridge so I didn’t see any point of repeating. I found a ladder down to the river bank near the city hall and took this 5 shot panorama, something a tourist wouldn’t do.

    The title is about the contrast between Tower Bridge and the deformed metal pieces and bricks in the foreground.
