Took a walk along the Southbank and the subject of the day is St Paul’s Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge.
St Paul’s Cathedral, a busy and working church has got to be one of the most visited tourist attraction in London. However, many may not know that the current structure is the fourth version, built between 1675 and 1710 as it’s predecessor was burnt down in the Great Fire of London.
The Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian only steel suspension bridge crossing the River Thames. This bridge was nicknamed ‘Wobbly Bridge’ as when it first opened in 2000, participants in a special opening event felt an unexpected swaying motion. This caused the bridge to be closed for 2 years for modifications and it reopened again in 2002, non wobbly this time!!! :D Hurray to that!!!

Tanya: At least you know about it now right? Better late than never. ;D
What a fabulous shot of the bridge. You’ve created so much interest in your pic with the angles. Interesting fact about the wobbly bridge as well.
awesome pictures. Good to hear they fixed the bridge that would freak me out walking across and feeling it swaying…lol
Great photography here. I love all the different views of these rails.
I really like the movement and relationships of the shapes in the second one!
