London - façade of St Pauls Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral is one of the most recognizable and iconic symbols of London - and one of the most photographed so finding a new angle to take a a picture is a bit of a challenge. Perched on Ludgate Hill, the highest point of the City of London, the dome of St Paul's Cathedral is highly visible. Getting up close and personal with Christopher Wrens late Renaissance / somber English Baroque style building reveals more interesting perspectives and details not usually revealed in the picture postcards sold to tourists.
