EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view across the Thames towards the iconic City of London. Standing tall and proud amidst the bustling cityscape are two architectural marvels that define modern London's skyline. Tower 42, formerly known as NatWest Tower, showcases its grandeur with sheer elegance, while Sir Norman Foster's Gherkin, built for Swiss Re insurance company between 2001 and 2004, stands as a symbol of contemporary design. As you gaze upon this image, your eyes are drawn to the river below where boats gracefully glide along its shimmering waters. The barge in particular adds a touch of nostalgia to this scene, reminding us of Britain's rich maritime heritage. The vibrant colors bring life to every element within this photograph - from the striking buildings that represent commerce and finance to the natural beauty of England's geographical features. It is a testament to how tradition seamlessly intertwines with progress in this great country. Captured by Peter Thompson, an artist renowned for his ability to encapsulate both history and modernity through his lens, this print serves as a timeless reminder of London's enduring charm. Whether displayed in an office or home setting, it invites viewers into a world where architecture meets transportation on the banks of one of Europe's most famous rivers – The Thames.
