EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of London, where the Thames River shimmers under the cover of night, stands the ancient and enigmatic Cleopatra's Needle. This red granite obelisk, a gift from Egypt to Great Britain in 1878, is a captivating sight that has stood the test of time. The Needle, with its monolithic presence, is flanked by two bronze statues of the sphinx, adding to its Egyptian allure. The atmosphere around Victoria Embankment, where the Needle resides, is nothing short of atmospheric. The streets are bathed in the soft glow of lamps and lights, casting an ethereal glow on the water's surface. The illuminations reflect off the dark, tranquil waters, creating a mesmerizing scene that transports one to another world. The Hungerford Bridge, with its elegant design, arches over the Thames, providing a perfect backdrop to the Needle. The bridge, lit up in the night, adds to the overall charm of the scene, making it a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. The 1910s photograph, taken from London at Night - Cleopatra's Needle and Victoria Embankment, captures the essence of this magical moment in time. The red granite obelisk, standing tall against the backdrop of the illuminated city, is a testament to the rich history and culture that London has to offer. The photograph, with its intriguing composition and stunning lighting, is a reminder of the beauty and allure of the city that never sleeps.
