Tower Bridge, the BT Tower, St. Pauls cathedral (surrounded by a forest of cranes) and the City of London, featuring (from right to left) “The Walkie-Talkie”, “The Cheese-grater” and “The Gherkin”. Plus a creditable amount of boat traffic. All viewed from King’s Stairs Gardens, Rotherhithe at one the first high tides after the vernal equinox.
Thanks to Michael for our lunch together enjoying his magnificent view of the ever-changing river scene.

29th February, the extra day every Leap Year when people paid monthly are working for nothing, isn’t that a con by the bosses! It’s also the last day of winter, according to the meteorologists’ calendar. Looks like spring to me for the crocuses (croci) at the bus stop at Brook Green on Hammersmith Road in West London. Of course that’s the bus stop for red buses at Brook Green, the green buses go from down the road at Hammersmith bus station.

Three piers on the Bristol Channel on a fine day out. Clevedon’s graceful ironwork pier (1869) has been bringing steamer passengers ashore since Victorian times. Weston super Mare’s Grand pier (1904) suffered a fire in 2008 and has been rebuilt with a modern pavilion. Also at Weston, Birmbeck pier (1848) has not been so lucky and is now in disrepair.
