The Shard Tower in London

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Decided to try for one before it got totally dark. Was wondering what the purple thing was that I'd never noticed before and on zooming in, I see it's more OLYMPIC RINGS




Then I tried that setting (the name of which I can't remember right now) and put it on cloudy and ended up with a nice red sky

What's the illuminated building in the foreground?

What's the illuminated building in the foreground?

Lambeth Town Hall. It's about time they fixed the light on that clock face. It's been out for ages

OMG, a bloke at the Guardian don't like it.

OMG, a bloke at the Guardian don't like it.

Still, I'm looking forward to the laser show

What time is it on I wonder?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

10.00pm apparently

you're getting good at this photography lark, minnie.

the town hall looks like a halloween lantern.

The town hall normally has all clock faces lit up. Our one (as in the one viewable from this angle) has been out of action for ages

I've just had camera out window again for the last half hour but don't think I'm capable of getting better shots due to lack of bits to twiddle on camera. It's only a compact

That's down to fractionman, RoyReed, weltwelt, FridgeMagnet and Hocus giving me lessons

The town hall faces are lit up according to the relative moral worth of people in the direction each one faces. That's why the one facing Clapham/Brixton Hill doesn't work these days.

Saying stuff that plenty others have said already. *yawn*

Ah piss off! This is very unusual actually 'cos I can't remember the last time it was unlit for so long . Maybe they're trying to save money

Maybe you people up there have been up to no good recently.

We are law-abiding citizens up here. That's why we were rewarded with such views

I've decided I don't like the 15-story unoccupied bit at the top, it looks like it's been abandoned. I reckon they should have done something more with it, or at least put semi-reflective glass on so you couldn't see inside.

So where do we reckon is the best place to see the lasers from? Up close or from afar?

FFS, I just looked out the window for the laser show

Good question. If there's some low cloud then you won't see much from afar. I'm going to the North Bank of the Thames.

There were some lasers coming of it last night. I guess a rehearsal. We were watching from Kennington park road.

You could have mentioned it on here then I could have looked out the window

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well I hope it looks better than this picture

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I've just been watching lasers

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I kept thinking something was changing when I was looking out, but couldn't figure what, then I noticed it was the Olympic ring, blue then red

I can see some cloud illuminating action going on now.

I tried getting photos of that but failed miserably
