Stockholm + Zürich Wallpaper

Monday, December 25th, 2006

My current wallpaper (1024×768). I love the juxtaposition of these pictures.

  2. There is a formula to what I consider a nicely composed photo of this type. It consists of a dynamic sky with visually interesting cloud formations, a structure / building ideally meaningful, and water with the reflection of the sky all taken during the sunset or sunrise.

Oxford Street, really busy near Selfridge and Debenhams.
