St Paul's by fairylight

Place: St Paul's Cathedral, London.
Date: Thursday December 27, 2007.
Camera: Panasonic DMC-TZ3.

We escaped the flat for a few hours this afternoon and headed into the City for a wander around. The weather was very mild -- certainly no need for hats or gloves -- so it was perfect conditions for taking a photograph or two -- although I admit to taking slightly more than that (try 123!)

I always love traipsing around this part of London. The urban fabric is amazing here, with incredibly historic buildings nestling up against brand new structures. There's a lot of construction going on at the moment, so things don't stand still for too long.

We took our time exploring little cobblestoned streets, courtyards and bigger roads, making our way slowly from Tower Hill to Blackfriars. We stopped for coffee at Fenchurch Street and had a bite to eat at Ludgate Hill, and before we knew it twilight came and went and it was very dark outside and time to go home.

The above photograph, taken looking up at the dome of St Paul's Cathedral through a smattering of Christmas fairylights, was the last on my camera. I'll post some more when I've worked my way through them.

I love this photo! Can't wait to see what other gems you took - although not all 123 of them!
