This is my love letter to The BT Tower.

In September 2019, I started a new job, in a building right next to The BT Tower.

It fascinated me how it looms over the city, always visibly invisibly part of the cityscape.

I started snapping photos whenever I first saw it on my way to work.

A bright winter midday, steeped in pastel colours. A street view with offices, an evergreen shrub in the foreground and a street lamp. BT Tower centred at the end of the street, purple banner displaying the round BT logo. A distant construction crane looks like it’s leaning on the tower. On the left, the offices of Burohappold Engineering. On the right, a restaurant or bar with several cctv cameras and flood lights.

Beautiful bright morning. Blue sky, scattering of wispy clouds, golden glow of sunrise in the distance. Dark outline of BT Tower and silhouette of trees. Purple banner announces #NAW2020 - National Apprenticeship Week.

A street in Soho. Night time. Bright lights. In the foreground, the neon lights sign of Las Vegas. In the distance, the silhouette of the BT Tower silently watching, its bright pink eye glaring.

Dreary grey winter morning. Even the usually luminescent purple banner of the BT Tower greets a muted blue ’Morning London’. Small dark bird photobombing from the right.

Gloriously peaceful morning in Fitzrovia. Two scooters parked by a cast-iron streetlight. In the distance, sunrise colours the horizon orange. The BT Tower is pensively resting, its purple banner simply displaying the small round BT logo, like the glowing pink eye of a cyclopic masked avenger.

Grey day. Street corner. 4-storey building with a green kind of checkerboard facade. Head of BT tower cheekily peeking out from behind buildings, greeting Londoners a chirpy purple ’Good Morning’.

Cold, crisp, blue winter morning in the city. Old rain glistening on the pavement. No motor vehicles are allowed on the square. BT tower greets a subdued ’Good Morning’.

A calm, serene winter morning at a Fitzrovia square, before dawn breaks. Beautiful tall trees backlit by the soft glow of cast iron street lights. Full moon shrouded in cloud against the dark sky. The BT Tower leans into the picture at an angle from the left, forever watching, forever not missing out. High above, the morning star keeps watch over the watch tower. In the foreground, a traffic sign warns against the dangers of low flying motorcycles.

The BT Tower against a gloomy dark night sky, just before dawn breaks. The Tower is shining bright with red lights and the self-luminous purple banner shouts ’Morning London’ at early commuters. In the foreground, a London terrace and a street sign warns of low height restrictions ahead.

Blurry photo of the red-lit head of the BT Tower from below, hidden behind an office block, against a dark night sky. The tower looks as blurry as the photographer probably feels after an evening in the pub with their teammates.

BT Tower, looming over London terraces. Construction works and scaffolding in foreground. It’s a grey, rainy day. Car headlights reflected off the wet tarmac.

A bright white winter sky. The BT Tower, visible between the naked branches of a tree, greeting London its usual bright purple Good Morning. At first glimpse it looks like big soft flakes of snow whirling through the air. On closer inspection, one realises that it’s fairylights strung up around the tree trunk and branches.

A close up photo of the stem of the BT Tower against a blue sky. Bits of window frame visible across image and faint reflections of ceiling lights in the glass give away the photo is taken from inside a nearby office building.

Silhouette of BT Tower and a tree against a beautiful crisp early morning winter sky. Sun rising behind a skyline in distance. The usually purple banner of the BT Tower is white, and states that it’s TUESDAY Today!

A rainy autumn day. The head of the BT Tower, reflected upside down in a puddle on the road, next to the pavement. Rain drops form circles in the water and obscure the image.

A rainy autumnal morning in central London. Street covered in a scattering of yellow leaves. In the distance, golden sunrise. BT Tower, tall and erect, the purple banner greeting its usual Good Morning, is reflected on the glisteningly wet pavement.

The BT Tower, standing tall and erect this grey morning. One single lonely window is lit up at the bottom. The luminescent purple banner greets a cheerful Good Morning against the colour drained sky.
