In Victorian times, London used to be often enveloped in what we call a pea soup fog. You see it depicted in the old black and white Sherlock Holmes films for example, people could hardly see their hands in front of their faces. During a rather nasty storm, I a night photograph while I was standing on Westminster Bridge looking along the Embankment to St Pauls Cathedral. It was very stormy with swirling black clouds, rain showers and as the visibility changed it reminded me of those heavy fogs. So using photopainting techniques I created this night cityscape with all the gloom and strangeness that you get from such a thick fog. This is one of three Thames Night View Abstract images.
