More mediocre photos of London....

Crisp, sunny morning walking along the southbank from London Bridge and over Tower Bridge to St. Katherine's Dock.

One thing London does well us juxtapose the old and new.

And some buildings you can walk past a thousand times are worth a second look sometimes.

Have you been let go but don't want to tell your missus so you're spending your days wandering aimlessly between the two bridges?

Unfortunately I have not been asked to take gardening leave. :(

Usually I'm dancing in and out of traffic, like a better looking Mad Max, but I'm out tonight so got the train in again. I suspect there is an element of greater appreciation of London since we weren't allowed outside to play for a while last year, and this morning the sun was making everything look pretty, so my inner David Bailey took over.

Tonight I'll be in Brixton. I doubt many photo opportunities will arise. ;)

Apparently the view from Westminster Bridge is worth a few words, maybe even a picture ;)

As a proposed solution to the issue of how to inspect the tickets of those passengers seated on the upper deck, it left a lot to be desired.

I remember jumping off the cliff at Rick's Cafe in Negril, Jamaica, egged on by several Americans and a number of rum punches.

Never again. :o
