A record of my attempt to do a project 52: one (reasonably good) photo every week for a whole year

week 39: View in the city
I love going outdoors and taking pictures of nature, but I am and always will be a city girl. And since I don't much like taking pictures of people that means quite often I'm finding my memory card full of images of buildings. Fortunately I'm fond of architecture so that's quite all right. And I really love how, in London, you have the the old and the new side by side.
This photo is a bit more of a graphical type thing - I was struck by the curve leading to the glass building. Now I've tried to do something like this many times before, but the light was never quite right to show it all off and then on my way home on evening, everything was the way I wanted. I still want to find a way of taking a nice photo of the yellow building by itself, but in this shot I think it works because the colour draws your eye into the photo and the glass building itself then draws the eye up, or something like that. I thought about cloning the lamp post out, but in the end I decided to leave it as it is very much part of what the city looks like in that bit.
