    Anyone in London that has a view of canary warf - are you seeing fire?

    Not meaning to alarm anyone but the one buildng next to canary warf looks from where I am to have fire coming from one of the windows and smoke coming from one of the windows. With binoculars it looks like the smoke is coming from that window (rather than it being a normal cloud) but I can't tell if the lights on the blacked out window are lights or flames.

    I know it might just be nothing since I see nothign on tv about it but it doesn't look like the normal thing that happens there.

          London is an old and convoluted city, as I'm sure you know. When I was there last I remember thinking..."how diverse, how RICH, the palette of the sky!" -- when, in America, they'd probably just call it a cloudy day -- . I think I know the factory you mean. The smoke reflects whatever's being burned inside. They make all kinds of things in there.

          tada!

                  It wasn't reflecting..it was that the way the stack is situated. From my house the black trim looked like it was a blacked out window on the building next to Canary Warf. There are red lights on it that made it worse because it could have been fire in that window. The smoke was for sure real and not a cloud so I started to worry just a bit too much for someone with a hangover.

                  When I got my binoculars out and focused them properly I could just about make out that factory chimey stack....about 10 seconds after I posted..lol

                  London does have some amazing skies at sunset..more purples and reds than you would expect.
