London Escapade
Saint Paul at dawn, reflecting upon the Salvation Army, Saturday Oct. 7th 2006
London Bridge is falling down? What of Saint Paul? It nearly entirely burnt down during the Great Fire of 1666. But survived nonetheless.
In this snapshot, however, it does seems Doomsday has arrived as the majestic cupola slants downwards in the eerie reflection on the façade of the Salvation Army's glass-walled building. It was about 8AM when I took the picture, the sun was slowly rising above the Thames, eclipsing Tower Bridge. Not a soul was to be seen in the empty streets of the City and the Millenium Bridge had but company, the relentless waves of the Thames incoming tide.
