Views along the Thames 13th June 2013

My brother beachcombing at low tide.  I used to work in the modern office block on the other side of the Thames - seems a long time ago :-)

 

Three Blackfriars Bridges - I'm standing under the modern road bridge (from which Roberto Calvi's body was found hanging in 1982), with the 1886 railway bridge in blue.  The bright pink columns in between used to support the earlier railway bridge built in 1864.

A ballet of wheelbarrows at the South Bank!

The View from The Shard 13th June 2013

My brother John and I were thrilled to visit The View from The Shard.  We took hundreds of photos as the weather kept changing and we wanted sunny photos as well as rainy photos.  The outside viewing platform is amazing as you are in "the elements" and it was very windy this afternoon - you could feel the building move slightly :-()
