London Bridge

The Shard, also referred to as the Shard of Glass, Shard London Bridge and formerly London Bridge Tower, is a 95-storey skyscraper in Southwark, London, that forms part of the London Bridge Quarter development. Standing 309.7 metres (1,016 ft) high, the Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, the fourth-tallest building in Europe and the 96th-tallest building in the world. It is also the second-tallest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom. Wikipedia
View of HMS Belfast and Tower bridge from London Bridge London, United Kingdom
This was a rather impromptu shot, originally intended to photograph sunrise at the Millennium bridge to avoid the crowd. Unfortunately, half of the bridge was under renovation and there was an unsightly fence running the whole length of the bridge. The clouds were starting to catch some beautiful light and I do not have a composition to work with. Slightly annoyed, I decided to savage the situation by rushing down to London bridge to photograph the Tower bridge in the beautiful morning light.
After a good twenty minutes of brisk walking, I was still too late to capture the beautiful predawn light as the sun had just risen above the horizon. Fortunately, there was sufficient atmosphere and buildings to filter the harsh sunlight, creating a soft back-light for the tower bridge and HMS Belfast. I managed to capture the whole scene in one exposure, making editing relatively straightforward. I was glad I managed to adapt to the situation quickly and come away an image I was happy with. It made getting out of bed at 5 am worthwhile!
