This photo is one of many taken on a recent photo-walk around "The City" (the financial district of London) with my good friend Frank. Formally known as 30 St Mary Axe, this building is a defining feature of London's epic skyline.

A composition of two hastily taken shots atop the Empire State Building. We were fortunate to have arrived at the viewing deck during twilight on a beautiful evening in early July 2009. By no means is this my best work but the colours were too exciting and changing too quickly to miss.

Canon EOS 50D, Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM IF lens. Edited in Adobe Photoshop CS5 and managed in Apple Aperture 3.
