    Not only quiet, but kind of dreary with no people and gray sky. Does the son ever shine there?

    This is terrific. I am getting a great education about London. I think that is one reason I like blogging so much, is that I learn so much about everything. That bridge is lovely and the water does look very calm and quiet.
    Have a great day.

    The last time I was there a few weeks ago, there was blue skies, the sun was shining bright, and there was a few people kicking about…so yes Stan the sun does shine, just not all the time! Wouldn’t life become boring if we had good weather all the time, I love the British weather, you never know what to expect, what a buzz….

    Thanks for stopping by and linking up. The sky looks about the same here today…which I won’t mind if we actually get rain.

    Wow, I’ve not seen rain in the summer here in forever. I wouldn’t mind a bit of rain, but I’m not seeing that happen in central California.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    I love how the basin is right in the middle of those buildings. The people in those buildings would have a nice view.

      It is surrounded by luxury flats and offices and quite high so from where i was it was a bit awkward to capture it.

      Thanks for your feedback Marilyn 🙂
