Ice Age Hits London

A cool day in London with an extra bit of chill outside Tate Modern.  This latest installation is blocks of Icelandic ice towed/dragged over here where, of course, they are melting away.  The ice is very 'blue' and has interesting shapes within it - I think the main idea is to increase awareness of global warming.  I caught St Paul's in the background and, with a bit of imagination, Ice Age hits London!

I then went on to Albert Bridge - quite a way up river - to try more night shooting.  This one was tricky as it's brightly lit so I had to very careful not to over expose.  I'm learning a lot about my camera and its capacity for long exposures in different ways according to conditions and circumstances - definitely more practice needed though.  The advantage of winter shooting is that it's dark quite early - the disadvantage is that it's cold!  
I managed to get my car out of the car park when back in Aylesbury, even though it should have been locked half an hour earlier!
