LONDON - RAINY DAY 

London is known for its fog and rainy days. Today, we'll take a tour of the areas in this British capital during a rainy day. Grab yourself a cup of tea as we explore Canary Wharf, the City, and other parts of London in this update!

The City is London's financial epicenter. This one square mile of space holds numerous office towers important to the city.

Big Ben chimes as the rain comes down on Westminster. Sometimes, a gnome is seen at the top , I wonder how it got up there...

The Millenium Dome is a huge dome structure near Canary Wharf built for the 2000 celebrations. Today, it's used for concerts and other events.

The Gherkin is one of the City's most distinct skyscraper and towers over the W2W buildings.

A look at Canada Square with the 3 tallest skyscrapers in the city. A nice little park gives workers a place to relax away from the office.

The London Eye is a large ferris wheel that holds you in a sealed capsule and slowly spins to give views of the city.

Thanks all! I added a picture since I took an ugly one out a little earlier. The rain effects are photoshopped, I can make a quick step guide if anyone wants to learn how to do it.

Definately one off the best CJ on this site from what I've seen! Love how close it looks to the real thing... wich reminds me, how do you create all of your cities? Do you use pictures for references?

Thanks! Yep, I use pictures from google earth when creating cities. Also use bing's bird eyes views.

It only took part of a Saturday to do this

Lol, I fixed the gherkin error, and I got the building at the sc4devotion.com LEX. Look up Caliban and you should find it.
