I've chosen my best capture of 2025 for the front cover of my 2026 LFTR A3 Wall calendar. Captured back in January on a Sunday morning, the light was just magical. My Xmas shop is now open!

Last night's solstice sunset, dropping behind Victoria Tower.
The sun set at 21:21 in London, with the exact moment of solstice occurring 29 minutes later at 21:50.
Summer has definitely arrived in London. 🌞

Want to shoot better moon photos?
London's good weather is set to continue and the moon is waxing towards 100% on Sunday, so lots of opps over the next few days.

View towards Elephant and Castle this morning. Not as dramatic and foggy as the view towards Canary Wharf from @NineElmsTeam but still an atmospheric scene.

I travelled this morning from North London where it was super foggy, to South London where there wasn't much fog at all 😂
Nevertheless, looking towards Canary Wharf from Vauxhall / Nine Elms, it was the perfect aerial fog scene 😍
