London visit Day 1
Grimsby> Newark> Kings cross > check in at hotel our whistle stop trip to London then began with a visit to the Tate modern to see Gerhard Richter`s exhibition : Panorama which is an amazingly diverse collection of his lifes work. The figurative and abstract paintings were stunning as were the glass sculptures and photographic studies.Fascinating and inspiring.

By this time it was dusk which threw a nice atmospheric light on the rippling Thames with St Paul`s cathedral in the background.

We were fascinated by reflections on the polished steel spheres in the street too.

Now seemed like a good Lightworks photo opportunity too splendidly modelled by Sue Riemer http://www.lightworks.me/                http://sueriemer.blogspot.com/2011/11/london-week.html




 St Paul`s Cathedral illuminated against the darkening sky.



From a different perspective through the railings.


I really like the effect of the flash in this one.


Was this the inspiration for Space invaders? A strange face like  appendage on the railings!
