London Buildings
The Olympic Stadium as seen from the View Tube near Pudding Mill Lane DLR station.
The top ring of the Stadium was built using surplus gas pipes.
The view tube - a good location to see the development of the Olympic park.
The Shard, or The Shard London Bridge.
Once complete (~ May 2012) it will be the tallest building in Western Europe at 1016 feet.
The top of The Shard.

The Heron Tower near Liverpool Street, it the third tallest building in London at 755 feet.
The Heron Tower.
Strata (also known as The Razor) at 484 feet near Elephant and Castle.
It incorporates three nine-metre wind turbines, though, for all their show, they only generate 8% of the energy needs of the building.
The BT Tower in Fitzrovia at 620 feet tall.
The tower is still in use, and is the site of a major UK communications hub.
St George Wharf overshadowing the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) - the cream and green building.
The entrance to the International Maritime Organization headquarters - a UN agency.
A building on King William Street, near London Bridge.

Our Holiday in Marazion
The view from our cottage overlooking St. Michaels Mount.
St. Michaels Mount at dusk.
Tourists a bit too eager to get across to the mount- or too tight to pay for the boat.
The boats going to and from the mount.
The danger girls .
Another bout of rock-pooling completed.
Let's see if we can all take the same photo.
The girls ready for the rain.

The restaurant where you choose you food and put it on a piece of wood which you then eat off. Then you wander to a till, tell them what you had and then pay.
Trustworthy but from the price I think the 'payers' subsidise the 'forgetters' considerably.
