Resurgam - I shall rise again
by

London

ST PAUL'S Cathedral, with its magnificent triple layered dome, the second largest in the world, is perhaps the best known of London's many landmarks. The brainchild of Sir Christopher Wren, it rose, phoenix-like, from the ashes of the Great Fire of London which destroyed not only old St Paul's but also, a massive four-fifths of the city. The largest honours the Duke of Wellington, the victor of the Battle of Waterloo, and his body is buried in the Crypt along with that of Admiral Nelson, the hero of Trafalgar, as well as that of Wren himself, who is fittingly remembered.

I gave it a very grainy BW look in photoshop. I prefered this shot that also captures Waterloo bridge in the foreground.

Hassan, I too like the treatment you gave to this image. It gives the photo an appropriately historic feel. -Michael
