the north end of the bridge

Tower Bridge

the main north tower. The two top blue passageways are used for parties. Pretty interesting place to have a glass of wine and look up and down river, specially during the night.

Tower Bridge

The south main tower. People frequently dont realise that this is a suspension bridge, these blue giant steel bits are actually cables which are hung on the main towers and support the bridge by pulling it up. So more weight you put on the bridge, it becomes stronger..sortta.

Photo Essay: Hays Galleria

We decided to meet up at the Hays Galleria as we thought (ha!) that it would be a nice covered place, out of the cold, and we can have the cup of coffee and have a chat. Bad mistake, damn place was freezing. Here is the slide show.

All in a twirl, and in the far distance, you see a photograph of a polar bear. The bear would not have felt out of place in this cold area.

Photo Essay: Borough Market

After damn near  freezing to death, we needed something nice and warm, so headed off to the Borough Market. This is a lovely market with a cornucopia of food, wine and great delicatessen. And tourists love it. Quite a bohemian and hopping look to it. Here is the full slide show.

First comes the bread shots, they just look so gorgeous.

And then the meat:

The pig’s head looks curiously very happy and contented. I am sure I would not have the same expression if I was gazing on my various body parts and legs arrayed in front of me.

Then this was funny. I looked up to see a damn red cow peeking through the window!
