THE CITY OF LONDON SKIES 

When the Curtain Falls observes the City skyline from a single Hackney vantage point between 2003 and 2004, always holding the land to a narrow band and giving the sky the main role. Across this two‑year span, clouds, fog, low winter sun and sudden rays perform above cranes and new towers like 30 St Mary Axe, tracing how weather reshapes the city’s mood as much as its architecture. The sequence reads like a quiet score of light over an evolving financial landscape, where each frame is one bar in a longer climate and urban memory.
