Regular readers of the blog will know that there are scarcely two things in the world I love more than the night sky and the London skyline. So it is no surprise that I couldn’t resist taking this photo last Thursday evening, combining those two things in equal measure.
The picture shows London’s tallest building, The Shard, alongside the world’s tallest hospital tower, Guy’s.
To the right, and less rooted to the Earth, is our planet’s nearest neighbour, the Moon. Even further to the right, the solar system’s largest planet, Jupiter, appears as a starlike white light.
This juxtaposition of Earth and sky, of London and space, is right up my street.
