Sun has been in short supply for us in the UK over recent months. I took this photograph during one of the rare moments the sun was shining brightly. It’s of one of the buildings that make up Imperial College in London.
I generally stick away from taking images like this one (this image here being a rare exception). I find steel and glass quite difficult to photograph, but as I was walking down the road, I saw the sun reflecting off the glasswork and thought for once I’d be brave and take a picture.
I took this picture on the day I visited the Science Museum following its reopening to the public. This building is just a few metres up the road from the museum and the sun, reflections and sky were asking to be photographed, although I did use a pre-set when I came to edit it.
I’ve been having some fun with my photography recently. For months I struggled to get out with my camera but over recent weeks, as lockdown has eased, more opportunities have presented themselves.
I have added this post to the #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the Darren Coleshill blog. Follow this link to visit Darren’s blog and check out both his imagery and photos taken by other content creators.

Very cool architecture!
Thanks Tamar, it was sure asking to be photographed.
great photo – I also avoid glass photos – glass and mirrors are really hard for me to photograph with all the shininess.
Oh, mirrors are the worst! Impossible to take a shot without putting yourself right in the middle of it.
That is a fantastic photo!
I am glad you are having fun with your photography again. x
Thanks Kim. Means a lot to get out and about again.
Fantastic angle x #mysundayphoto
Yeah, I had to keep checking I wasn’t going to walk into anything as I took the shot!
Fantastic photo!! The reflection looks like continuation of the cloud instead. Last year, I did a whole year of taking mostly indoor photos, had to get very creative as the year progressed. I am glad you are having fun with photography outside again. Enjoy!!

Indoor photos have their place, but a year if them is a bit much, right?? Thanks for the comment.
I love this John, I like buildings like this for the unique reflections they give off
Thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
It is a stunning photo! I think it’s always worth attempting to photograph something, because it might just surprise you!
I would really like to visit London again now. It has been too long since we last went.
