England - London - Canary Wharf tower

Canary Wharf tower seen through a telephoto lens from across West India Docks, London Docklands, East London England. We see dozens of office windows illuminated by individual green ambient light and in some windows, office workers can be seen at their desks. It is late in the working day but feverish business continues into the night. There is a strong graphic feel to the image, relying on the blank, unlit windows where other employees of their companies have left earlier and switched off their lights to save electric power. 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.
