On a trip to London with my girlfriend, we headed for St Paul’s just before sunset.

There are roses of many colours growing up against the cathedral railings.  They made for picturesque shots of the cathedral with a cloudless summer sky as background.

Slanted evening light fell across the front of St Paul’s as the sun sank down, gilding the columns with gold.

This is the firefighters’ memorial that stands opposite St Paul’s, between the cathedral and the river.

This pub near St Paul’s caught my eye with its old-fashioned lantern on the corner, and a bicycle underneath.

We walked on across the Millennium Bridge, and at the end we looked back across the Thames to this view of St Paul’s cathedral.
