The Tower Bridge in London
I never tire of photographing this amazing city. Right here you have the old and the new. The Tower Bridge was built in the late 1800’s, opening in 1894. It is still a marvel today. Then in the background you have the modern, the new Shire tower. This is what makes London such a unique city. Paris has La Defense, a modern business center, but it is separate from the historic district of the city. London mixes old and new in timeless architecture. I love it. And then you have the lights of a moving London bus. Even that has a mixture of old and new. Red like always, but using modern clean technology.
