England - London - Canary Wharf tower

Canary Wharf tower is seen from below at street level in London Docklands, England. The sun glints off one corner of the highly-reflective surface of the building underexposing the mottled sky to make the scene gloomy and slightly threatening. It also looks aspirational for any corpoiration to have its headquarters in this iconic skyscraper tower. It thrusts itself in from the bottom left corner into the centre of the picture with imposing dominance as if pointing towards Heaven like a church spire. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.
