Despite living in London for two years while a postdoctoral fellow at the London School of Economics, I didn't have many memorable photos of London until I took this trip. Photos were captured with my Pentax K-3 Mark III, Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome, and iPhone 16 Pro.
This captivating photograph showcases the iconic Tower of London juxtaposed against the sleek silhouette of The Shard. The ancient fortress, with its medieval architecture and distinctive turrets, stands in striking contrast to the contemporary design of the glass skyscraper. Bathed in warm sunlight, the textures of the stone walls are beautifully highlighted, inviting viewers to appreciate the rich history embodied in this landmark. The clear blue sky enhances the visual appeal, creating a harmonious blend of old and new that reflects London's architectural diversity. This image serves as a remarkable representation of urban evolution, appealing to both history enthusiasts and architecture aficionados.
