Sightseeing in London: nightscape II

An old tea-merchant ship moored on the banks of the River Thames.

Overlooking the City: the tall building on the left is Tower 42, the cyclical building is Re Swiss, aka the "Gherkin" or the "Dildo". The brightly light purplish glow comes from Lloyds of London.
The bridge on the right is London Bridge, built on the site when the Romans built the first bridge across the Thames centuries ago.

St Paul's Cathedral on the left
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: original burnt down, and this is a reconstruction, with actual performances that take place regularly. Posted by Picasa
