United Kingdom The Shard, London
The Southwark Bridge and The Shard, London, both landmarks in their own right. Actually, the orange bridge is the railway bridge into Cannon Street, about 100 metres closer to London Bridge. Its close to the Shard but not as dramatic; its not as well lit at night.
Recently, the top of the Shard has been presenting a steadily changing light show. If you have time, you can capture some really good colours.
