Naked girl dancing with a dolphin.

Having visited this spot several times, I know it's never easy to photograph—harsh lighting and a constant buzz of activity make it challenging. The intense light and footfall can complicate capturing the scene. So patience and monochrome are your friends

Every day, thousands of Londoners and tourists pass by this sculpture, many pausing to admire its beauty and enjoy the stunning backdrop of Tower Bridge towering in the distance.

"Girl With A Dolphin" has been standing in London's shadow near the iconic bridge for nearly 50 years. Nestled in the middle of a fountain, it depicts a girl dancing gracefully with a dolphin.

The girl leans down as if suspended in water, her hair flowing above her. The dolphin swims upward, their dance beautifully frozen in bronze. Created in 1973 by the renowned sculptor David Wynne, who passed away in 2014 at 88, this piece reflects his lifelong fascination with animals and motion.

It's a captivating symbol of joy and harmony set against one of London's most famous sights.

Not an easy shot to capture requiring a long exposure and needed a bit of luck and timing between people. The long exposure gives the people a ghostly effect.

The London Millennium Bridge, also known as the "wobbly bridge," is a pedestrian bridge spanning the River Thames in London, connecting St Paul's Cathedral to the Tate Modern. It was opened in 2000 and initially faced issues with excessive swaying, which led to its closure and subsequent stabilisation.

Experiencing the breathtaking beauty of the blue hour at the Tower Bridge in London.

This iconic Grade I listed structure is a marvel of engineering and history, blending a bascule, suspension, and once a cantilever design, built between 1886 and 1894 under the visionary ideas of Horace Jones and the engineering expertise of John Wolfe Barry, with Henry Marc Brunel also playing a key role. Positioned near the historic Tower of London, it spans the River Thames and is one of five London bridges managed by the centuries-old City Bridge Foundation.

Designed to link the east side of London—home to 39% of the city's population, comparable to the combined populations of Manchester and Liverpool—it also facilitates vital shipping traffic to the Pool of London, between the Tower of London and London Bridge. Opened on June 30, 1894, by Edward, Prince of Wales, and Princess Alexandra, the bridge has stood as a symbol of progress.
Stretching 940 feet (290 meters), the bridge features two towering 213-foot (65 meters) structures connected by upper-level walkways and a central pair of bascules that lift to let ships pass. Originally powered by hydraulics, the mechanisms were upgraded to electro-hydraulic systems in 1972. Today, the bridge is a critical part of London's Inner Ring Road and the congestion charge zone, supporting around 40,000 crossings daily.
Visitors can explore the accessible bridge deck for both vehicles and pedestrians, while the spectacular twin towers, high-level walkways, and Victorian engine rooms are open to the public as part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition. Witness the transition from day to night and marvel at this majestic monument coming alive under the enchanting blue hour.
