Since leaving Cambridge, where every November 5th is marked by some of the best annual public firework displays I've come to know, catching the big sparklies overhead has been something of a rarity.

This meant that attending the Lord Mayor's Show finale last weekend was mandatory, and while it wasn't the best display I've ever seen -- that title is held by a record-attempting display in Kuala Lumpur to mark a Sultan's birthday -- there were certainly some mesmerising lights up in the sky.

Even in the absence of pyrotechnics, however, London was resplendent in her Autumnry, buildings, boats and traffic alike all magically shimmering in the glittering, black surface of the Thames.

Wow, that turned out a lot better than there was any reason to expect :)

I found the display distinctly underwhelming, but it was good to see you amongst the throng.

Nice shot - I was also on the bridge for the fireworks :p probably not far away from you given the angle of your shot.
