You all know my my unequivocal love for London and when the weather is nice, to me, it’s unbeatable. One of my favourite views is to stand on Waterloo Bridge and gaze at that majestic panorama.
We had the most beautiful cold and sunny day last Saturday. As I was in town and it wasn’t long until sunset I decided to hop over to the South Bank and take some shots while watching the sun go down. There were loads of people going for walks, drinking coffee, laughing and for a moment everyone looked so happy and peaceful. A wonderful moment. Enjoy!

TINA! These pictures are stunning. The first shot really is a winner but I also love the pink/purple ombre sky of the later shots. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Will… really kind of you to say…I think it was a perfect combo of beautiful vista and stunning sunset!
So gorgeous! You’re making me want to go out light chasing.
Hi Kat,
I’m booking Blogtacular this week:-) Go on, the light is gorgeous at the mo!
Gorgeous photos! The ones of St Paul’s cathedral with the pinky sky are so wonderful. The South Bank is one of my favourite places in London, the lovely combination of stunning architecture, the river and all of the hustle and bustle of people! Perfect. x
Thank you Ruth:-)
I know, I feel exactly the same way. It’s a perfect spot for so many reasons and even after 34 years, I will NEVER tire of it!
Thank you x
These are so stunning, love how you’ve taken them with a little time between them as well, the colour changes are just beautiful. Only one problem: they tell me that I need to get out more than I currently do 😉 xo
I couldn’t resist but actually stare and stare. The funny thing was that I couldn’t decide where to photograph. The sky had so many colours in all different directions:-)
Get out more woman x
Oh Tina, what you have captured here is simply stunning. I can feel your passion, peace and contentment in these images. I used to walk Waterloo bridge often when I lived in London and I can relate to the unbeatable nature and essence of London. Thank you for sharing your images, you have made me end my evening in harmony. I thank you my sweet friend. Much love, Jocelyn x
Thank you Jocelyn! I LOVE being there… it fills me with calm, serenity and allows me to be in the moment!
Glad you enjoyed it x
Beautiful shots Tina, you even made a Brutalist building look pretty during the golden hour xx
Hahaha. Those Brutalist building shots were taken with Gerard (Walnutgrey) and Ben and Joe (HopperandSpace) in mind…. they always try and get me to like Concrete:-) but agreed, they looked rather pretty… thanks Nicola x
Such a gorgeous post Tina. It captures everything that is beautiful and great about London. The wonderful architecture from historical to modern and everything between…. even brutalist!! All looking stunning in the winter sunset. And of course the Thames running right through. A magical mix! Xx
Thank you boys! I couldn’t have put it better. Thanks for stopping by xx
The colours are just wonderful, Tina.
Thank you Alison. I’m really glad I was there that day. When I crossed Waterloo Bridge a couple of days ago, sunset time, the light was nothing like this here.. #luckymoment
Beautiful shots Tina. My favourites are the purple pink skies. Have a great weekend x
Thank you Geraldine. Yes, I love them too:-) x
My favourite views of London esp. towards St. Paul’s and the City. Waterloo Bridge is magical and you’ve captured the early evening light beautifully 🙂 xx
Thank you Gerard. Am pretty happy with the results. Luckily my hands weren’t shaking so photos came out well xx
Totally agree with Will. And I love that you have done a sequence of it! xx
Thank you Gudy. It was fun and exciting for me. I couldn’t help myself but to see it through to the end… xx
Wow these photos are so beautiful that they almost look fake. You know I love London, but what I even love more are sunsets. I think they are God’s gift and I always, always stop my car to watch them. I never understand how people can just go on in their rush without even noticing it.
The way the light touches the buildings, magnificent. My favourite is the one with the river Thames. It looks like a painting. Really…wow!
Well, thank you!
I do know your love for London:-)
I know what you mean but it depends where you are at that moment. I love it best when I am on my Vespa or like here, I actually stop and look properly.
Thank you Louise! I have had lovely comments…. •blush•
Wow, gorgeous photos! It’s my favorite time of day to take photos too, with the warm light. Haven’t taken many of them in London yet though, but you’ve definitely inspired me.
Hi Jacintha,
Happy New year. What are you waiting for? I have to admit, the light that day was magnificent. It hasn’t quite been the same since.
Look forward to some of your sunsets:-)
You already know that I love your photography so I won’t repeat myself, but I really love the one of the bridge that over looks the shore with boats. Such a great angle and well taken. xD
Oh go on, tell me again, and again, and again…:-))
Thank you Doris. Always appreciated xx
Gorgeous photography as ever, Tina! I love how you captured the changing colours of the sky as the sun went down.
A wonderful tribute to (and reminder of) the need to stop and take in the beauty all around us.
Thank you! 😀 xo
Thank you…. it was the most glorious of weather.. and sunset!
I couldn’t agree more. There’s beauty around us…. everywhere! xx
Such a beautiful moment! Your words made me feel the enegry and joy of the people around you…. and these photos are S T U N N I N G !! You have outdone yourself with this beauty xx
It was magical and I love when London is full of hope and energised people!
Aww, thank you Leah.. it’s a bit like a great song or dance. When everything, all components come together it makes for a wonderful result.
I think all components came together that day:-) xx
[…] is just unbeatable, would you agree? I recently was fortunate enough to capture a most glorious sunset in London, so thought it would be fun to do it while in the South of France. Of course, the weather and light […]
Woah! The light in these images is breathtaking! I feel you totally enjoyed that moment 🙂 Xx.
Thanks Holly.. I was a lucky girl indeed! Totally loved the experience xx
