Two buildings by the italian architect, Renzo Piano, at London Bridge.

The Shard you may have heard of and is more or less complete, but The Place is an 18-storey office building still under construction across the plaza from London Bridge Station.

Grabbed this shot on London Bridge Street yesterday evening before catching my train home. The camera was balanced on a grundon with a 2-second delay on the shutter so that I could hold it steady, which made calculating exactly when to push the button with a half-second exposure an interesting exercise... I think I pulled it off :)

This is a very powerful shot indeed in m y view, great framing lovely colours and the bus gives it a really dynamic feel, work for me!
 
Love it. Need to venture round there actually.
