One way street. Clear blue sky. In the distance, the BT Tower. It’s the start of the UN End Violence to Women fortnight. In celebration, the BT Tower is wearing orange instead of its usual purple. Banner reads ”UN Women…”

London Blackfriars train station. Night time. The single eye of the BT Tower glowing in the dark. There’s nowhere to hide from its Omnipresence.

Clear blue sky with wispy clouds low sun casts long shadows of streetlights on the tarmac. In the far distance, barely visible against the clouds, the silhouette of the proud BT Tower, all but hidden behind houses.

Dramatically overcast sky. Houses. Head of BT Tower, generating a golden vortex of energy that lights up the clouds and the sky. If anyone still doubted what powers the sun, the answer is clear for everyone to see: the BT Tower.

Dramatic sky, clouds illuminated by sun. Red traffic light in the foreground, empty crossing. White townhouses on the right. In the distance, behind some lower buildings, the head of the BT Tower, hazy looking and backlighted by the clouded sun.

Street view, cloudy day, light blue sky. In foreground, Lime bicycle parking lot. Man mounting a bike. Cars parked along tree-lined street.

In distance, BT Tower a dark outline against the bright sky, the purple banner just about visible, reading ”You did us proud”. Previous day, the Lionesses won the UEFA women’s Euro final against Spain. The BT Tower knows. It knows everything.

View of Blackfriars Bridge. It’s a grey day. The sky is covered by a grey fluffy duvet of cloud. All colours are washed out - except for the purple banner of the BT Tower, in the far distance, ever watching the city. Except you can tell even her heart isn’t really in it, today.

Gloomy late afternoon. Dramatical, blue cloud cover. Foreground left, mysteriously lit up arch, leading to “…chbone …uare”. Foreground right, tall black looming lamp post. Naked trees, modern apartment building, typical London houses and store fronts

In the centre, as is its wont, the BT Tower, its illuminated purple mono-eye ever watching the city.

View of the Thames from the south bank. Barge. Blackfriars Bridge and station. Multiple construction cranes, as always. Everything is a dark blue grey, dark grey water, blue bridge, dark blue grey clouds. In the far distance. The BT Tower, it’s purple glowing eye ever watching, watching, watching.

A photo of Blackfriars Bridge, from inside Blackfriars station. The sun reflected in the metal chairs on the platform. People busily crossing the bridge in both directions. Looking very very closely, in the centre of the photo, in the far distance, one can just about see the head of the BT Tower peaking out behind a concrete tower block.

London street, lined by dark naked trees.

In the distance, the grey BT Tower against a dramatic grey sky. Its bright purple banner greeting commuters with a cheerful ’Good Morning London’.

In the foreground, a freshly painted parking space for e-scooters and bikes, packed full with Forest and Lime bikes. Scattering of parked cars in the distance.

Beautiful, clear autumn day in London. Eclectic collection of deep red brick houses. Dormers, chimney stacks, old TV antennas. You can just see Mary Poppins landing on the roof any minute now.

BT Tower feeling playful, it’s purple head and mono eye peeking out behind the roofs.
