EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing night-time view across the River Thames during the construction of Vauxhall Cross in Greater London. The image showcases one of the cranes on site, adorned with enchanting illuminated Christmas decorations, adding a touch of festive cheer to the bustling construction scene. Vauxhall Cross, also known as the SIS or MI6 Building, stands proudly in Lambeth and was masterfully designed by architect Terry Farrell. Built by Laing Management Contracting for Regalian Properties, this iconic structure later became the headquarters for the British Secret Intelligence Service or MI6 after being sold to the government. The photograph transports us back to the 1990s when ground works began in 1990 and completion took place in 1992. The vibrant colors emanating from both artificial lights and natural reflections on water create an ethereal ambiance that is truly captivating. The river's surface acts as a mirror, reflecting not only the stunning architecture but also capturing glimpses of nearby buildings and their own shimmering lights. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress amidst London's ever-evolving skyline. It reminds us of how even during times of construction and development, moments like these can bring joy through unexpected sources such as beautifully decorated cranes against a backdrop of darkness. This photograph encapsulates both history and artistry while showcasing London's dynamic spirit at its finest.
