Photographer's Note
After more than a month inactive, due to surgical intervention that has left me a bit K.O., today I return to my normal activity here, once I've overcome this heavy process.
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 third photo that I publish here, you can see the view towards the west of the city, with the railway line winding between the buildings until you reach the Charing Cross station crossing the Hungerford Bridge. On the right we see the Waterloo Bridge, on the left, the London Eye, the Waterloo station, and almost out of frame, the Big Ben. The day was clear and the view leads our eyes far away, despite the light fog.
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.
Wikipedia information:

Después de más de un mes inactivo, debido a una intervención quirúrgica que me ha dejado un poco K.O., hoy regreso a mi actividad normal aquí, una vez superado todo este pesado proceso.
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 tercera foto que publico aquí, podéis ver la vista hacia el oeste de la ciudad, con la línea de ferrocarril serpenteando entre los edificios hasta llegar a la estación de Charing Cross cruzando el Puente de Hungerford. A la derecha vemos el Puente de Waterloo, y a la izquierda, el London Eye, la estación de Waterloo, y casi fuera de encuadre, el Big Ben. El día era claro y la vista llegaba muy lejos, a pesar de la ligera neblina.
A pesar que el cristal de la fachada creaba algún efecto no deseado por los fotógrafos, pienso que esta vista también merecía ser captada.
Espero que os guste.

Hello Josep,
Glad to see you're back. A great photo of London with a lot to see and discover including some of the city's highlights, most prominently the London Eye and Big Ben. The photo shows very well that London has got a great mix of modern and old architecture and quite a lot of green areas. A beautiful and clear view.

First of all, I wish you a fast recovery.
That's surely a fantastic viewpoint in the Shard! It seems like you were flying low over the city.
We can see different famous landmarks of London and on the brink we spot Big Ben.
Fantastic clarity and sharpness.

Hello Josep, I am sorry to read about your surgical intervention. Hopefully, now it will be OK and you will be more active - in life and on TE. Awesome view from the Shard over London. So many details to see. If I go to London, I must also remember about this viewpoint. superb panoramic picture, very clear and sharp.
Kind regards Malgo

Hello Josep,
I had a major surgery 10 years ago and remember as in a nightmare how I was totally knocked out for a long time afterwards. I hope you are fully well now.
This is a superb view of London with many famous buildings and constructions but also many newer ones that are not familiar to me. Although there is a slight haze in the distance the weather conditions were remarkably favourable for such a big city.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Josep,
Good inclusion of the iconic landmarks of Big Ben & the London Eye at far left. A dramatic aerial shot with lots to take in. But I am not sure if this is taken from the Shard tower which is about 3 km downriver to the left almost beside the Tower Bridge which is not visible here. Which ever building it was taken from, it's still a wonderful view. Tfs!
