Skyline of Steel and Glass

I was playing tourist in London, wandering the streets with no agenda other than to
soak in the sights, sounds, and smells of the city. The markets were buzzing with
life — the aroma of street food mingling with fresh flowers and roasted coffee. As I
made my way along the south side of the Thames, I paused to take in this view: the
shimmering glass towers of the City of London rising above the river.

From the Walkie Talkie to the Cheesegrater, the skyline felt like a futuristic contrast to
the historic bridges and stone buildings that frame the riverbanks. It was London in its
truest form — old and new, tradition and modernity, side by side.
