Yeah it's from Hamleys, shame the window was a bit dirty. I know what you mean the colours look stunning, would have been great on a clear sunny day.

I Think it's got a lot to do with the perspective and aesthetics of said photo: that's a new angle to guage and appreciate St Phillips finery and also the line-of-site for the Nat West Tower to look dominant and I'm-the-man (kind of scenario) is almost ince perfect. Great set of photos UV

An old Kennedy House there, and they are just building the M&B offices on Fleet St?

That makes it about 2000?

smysticed · November 3rd, 2008, 12:04 PM

Oh my goodness, Kennedy tower looks post-apocalyptic there!

BT Tower does look ugly before the makeover Did it ever light up at night?

SimonTheSoundMan · November 3rd, 2008, 01:12 PM

No, it didn't.

Some interesting angles you found there Elizabeth.
This one reminds me of those skyline shots of Manchester you see on their subforum with the hills in the background and a lot of greenery in the foreground.

Very nice

Elizabeth Kinoke · November 9th, 2008, 01:07 PM

just messing around, with Snow Hill, Nat West and V

Good work! We could only be a few talls away from a very impressive skyline.

feltip · November 9th, 2008, 05:21 PM

Not seen this angle before.
