I was working on the roof of a building in East London and had a good view up the famous Brick Lane. The image was taken quite early in the day. By lunch time, the Lane was a hive of activity. Brick Lane is the centre of the Bangladeshi community in the UK. The building with the white lined apex roof towards the top right of the picture is the local Jamme Masjid Mosque. before that it was a synagogue and before that a church.
