The members of the Sepia Set have setup this blog to post their photographs and learn from each other.
This set of photo’s belong to the old favourite, Tower Bridge. Slide Show here.
The bridge itself from the south bank of the Thames
The top of the south end of the bridge, warders would stay here.
the north end of the 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.
the shield of the UK
top of the tower.
entering the main tower.
this, believe it or not, is one of the tributaries of the Thames. its not a sewer.
The London Thames river police and traffic control post.
An ugly ass gargoyle peeking out.
The underside of the 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.
Two other intrepid members of the SepiaSet.
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.
The chap seriously looked like a wasp. With that segmented body and colours.
Damn feathered flying rats were also feeling the cold. Just look at the beady eye of the chap on the right.
Framed by the umbrella and the barrier.
Some weird ass sculpture which is supposed to signify an ocean going galleon. Very confusing. Doesnt speak to me. Anyway…
This set relates to the bunch of cold people and animals around London Bridge. Here is the slide show.
Windy city
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.
Black and white
A rather miserable looking snowman
Pointer with hair blowing down wind.
I still cannot understand how their jeans stay up when the damn waistband is at the bottom of their buttocks. Its called as a waistband for a reason, you twits.
It has started snowing…people looking miserable but some people and their tastes….heh
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.
Then comes the cheese, they look just brilliant and tasted great as well.
Then comes the pies.
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!
Some advertising thingiemabob. Pretty eye catching..
