The Devil's Kingdom

(click on image to view larger)


As the Fat Cat B(w)ankers get ready to trouser their obscene bonuses, this image of their laire in Canary Wharf London, with the two red 'horns' atop one of the skyscrapers, seemed to me a little symbolic. 

Shot taken at dawn from the South bank on a foggy winters day. 20 second exposure on the Leica M9 plus ND filter on 35mm at f.8

    Thanks Vegebud and Candles!
    Martin, ND = Neutral Density - it's used to extend exposure times.
