Photographer's Note
From the diverse platforms of observation placed in the plants 68 to 72, (the "Viewing Gallery") of the skyscraper The Shard, in London, the visitors can enjoy a fantastic panorama in a bird-view on the city. From up there I took many photos.
In this second photo that I publish here, you can see in the foreground the City Hall building (a work of Sir Norman Foster) and the Tower Bridge, at the left side the Tower of London, then the curves of the River Thames, and in background the Canary Wharf area.
Though the glass of the front was creating some effect not wished by the photographers, I think that this sight deserved to be caught.
I hope you like.

Desde las diversas plataformas de observación situadas en las plantas 68 a 72, (la “Viewing Gallery”) del rascacielos The Shard, en Londres, los visitantes pueden disfrutar un panorama fantástico a vista de pájaro sobre la ciudad. Desde allí arriba tomé muchas fotos.
En esta segunda foto que publico aquí, podéis ver en primer plano el City Hall Building (obra de Sir Norman Foster) y el Puente de la Torre, a la izquierda la Torre de Londres, después las curvas del Río Támesis, y al fondo, la zona de Canary Wharf.
A pesar que el cristal de la fachada creaba algún efecto no deseado por los fotógrafos, pienso que esta vista merecía ser captada.
Espero que os guste.

Hello Josep,
Fantastic view of this part of London, where the Thames winds its way so nicely though the city. The Tower of London, Tower Bridge and the new city hall make a great foreground and the modern towers of Canary Wharf are a wonderful backdrop. Superb clarity too.

The mist prevailing the cityscape, which is so typical for London, but did not disturb a great sight from high above, Josep.
Details are sharp and clear, and evidently the city had grown much since our last visit in 08/1993.
Good evening,
Ike

Bonjour, cher ami Josep,
Superbe prise de vue plongeante sur la ville mettant en vedette les tours qui ne cessent de prendre de la hauteur et essayer de venir chatouiller les nuages.
La mise en image est parfaite. Très bonne note d'accompagnement.
Amitiés.

Hola, Josep!
Una vista realmente espectacular, en la que se pueden ver muchos puntos turísticos de la ciudad a la vez, y con la curva del río que deja la imagen más atractiva! El efecto del vidrio sólo se ve en parte del cielo, así que no estorba casi nada. Excelente trabajo!

Hola amigo Josep.
Una maravillosa panoramica, que nos permite recrearnos y disfrutar en los muchos puntos de interes de la ciudad, desde que yo la visite hace ya bastantes años, se han levantado muchos nuevos edificios de gran altura, el puente que vemos mas cercano sigue siendo una de sus joyas, magnifica imagen en un dia dificil para la fotografia.
Nitidez, iluminación y color estan bien gestionados, en esta preciosa imagen.
Buen trabajo, que me trae recuerdos de un viaje que disfruté mucho.
Que tengais un estupendo día.
Un fuerte abrazo para ti y Pili.
Luis.

Hello Josep,
The Shard was practically next door to the hostel I was staying in. Wishing now I had enquired about a public lookout. It certainly offers a terrific bird's eye view of London. Plus you get to peek into the tower of London without paying a hefty entrance price! I never realised east London has its own financial district and high rise centre. Tfs!

Olá, caro Josep!
Você conseguiu um ponto de vista privilegiado para nos mostrar Londres! Visão fantástica! O rio faz uma curva que deixa a imagem mais atraente e a ponte foi bem posicionada. Enquadramento e nitidez muito bons.
Bom fim de semana!

Hola Josep,
spectacular panoramic view of London.
You have well placed the river turn in the frame. It feels very elegant.
I like the famous Tower Bridge in the centre of attention here.
I have seen the skyscraper already but didn't have a chance to go to the top yet.
This is really encouraging me to go there again.
Excellent work,
M

Hello Josep,
A fantastic aerial photo taken from above in The Shard!
Very attractive composition with the curve of the Thames.
Nice with the Tower Bridge on the foreground.
Excellent clarity; only on the top of the picture we can see it is taken through glass.
Best regards, Paul
