Summer at last (albeit between the heavy downpours)

The wild flowers are thriving in the hot sun and heavy downpours.  Is all this rain a consequence of global warming?  I can't remember such regular downpours in my younger days.

Spring has sprung

Millennium Bridge - Poetry in Motion

The Millennium Bridge never fails to impress me. These shots were taken from the Embankment on the north side of the Thames.  I spotted the wording on the Tate Modern building and thought it was very apt for this photo.

Wren's masterpiece

St Paul's Cathedral has been photographed so much that it is difficult to get a new 'angle' on this much-loved London landmark.  Here are a couple of my attempts at something 'new'  from my visit yesterday.

Old Ford - Graffiti

On a walk from Old Ford to Victoria Park we noticed a spate of graffiti.  This could be in advance of the massive development going on in the area which will probably totally change the environment from shabby warehouses to glossy and boring blocks of flats.

I tried to get some different shots of this much-photographed, iconic London bridge.  It is a superb example of great design with shapes and angles that catch the eye.  However, the grey sky proved  a difficult and uninspiring background.
