If you considered Brescia a bit of a one trick pony, then you’d be mistaken. This quaint town has everything your average macro shooting photo nerd could want. Peeling paint, lonely chairs, broken windows, rotting floorboards, the full shebang! But for those of us who didn’t just get moist at the mention of the above here’s a few pictures from Brescia’s “High Life”.

I hated Strata, each time we ventured into London it smirked at us as we drove by. Every attempt to climb it ended with the same wailing siren of ‘You Lose’. Over the years the furthest i had made it was the ninth floor when situations out of my control had forced us to leave. No more, tonight we would reach the top, dragging the entire security team at our feet if we had to!

So here with have the Heron Tower, a new skyscraper for London’s financial district. With a height of 230m upon completion, 202m excluding the spire it is now the second highest building in the United Kingdom (1 Canada Square still retaining 1st place)

Designed by Jacques Hittorff and built between 1861-1865, Gare Du Nord receives over 180 million visitors a year making it the busiest railway station in Europe and third in the world. The eight most prominent statues on its roof represent the international destinations at the time, with the twelve beneath representing other french cities.

Theres not much to say about Adelaide House, its a superb, chilled out rooftop to sit atop on a clear night sky and take in panoramic views of the Thames and London. Recommended.

There comes a time in london when you eventually do something just for the sake of it. You know its not going to be interesting or particularly rewarding, its just because its easy and you have nothing else to do that night.
