Standing Guard

Description

I took this photo at the Tower of London mainly because of the warm sunlight and the long shadows through the trees created by the low angle of the sun. I really like the resulting effect: the juxtaposition of the the natural, organic light and the rigid, military feel created by the cannons and the relatively featureless stone building. The guard serves as the link between these two conflicting factors: he stands with the stiff stillness of his architectural surroundings, yet looks toward the light, which reflects its ethereal image on his guardhouse just above him.
