Inside the Tate Modern art gallery London, Oct 22, 2012 England. Day two of our stay in London. The weather wasn't kind to us!
Tate Modern is a remarkable combination of old and new. Bankside Power station was built in two phases between 1947 and 1963. It was designed by the architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who also designed Battersea Power Station and Waterloo Bridge. Constructed of a brick shell supported by an interior steel structure, its striking monumental design with its single central chimney, had often led it to be referred to as an industrial cathedral.
In July 1994 an international competition was launched to select an architect to redesign the power station. By November, the initial 148 entrants had been whittled down to a shortlist of six. These were: David Chipperfield Architects; Office for Metropolitan Architecture/Rem Koolhaas; Renzo Piano Building Workshop; Tadao Ando Architect and Associates; Herzog & de Meuron and Jose Rafael Moneo Arquitecto. You can see all of the proposals presented by the short-listed architects in the Showcase.
In January 1995, the firm Herzog & de Meuron were announced as winners of the competition. The dignified simplicity of their proposal impressed the jury. Their respect for the original architecture, with subtle alterations rather than grand gestures, and the introduction of more light via the enormous roof light box, combined to create an interior both functional and modern.
Did you know?
Gilbert Scott's original design for Bankside Power Station
The height of the chimney of the power station is 99 metres (325ft), and was intentionally built shorter than the Dome of St Paul's Cathedral which stands at 114 metres (375 ft).
Approximately 4.2 million bricks were used in the building of Bankside power station.
The original design for Bankside had two chimneys rather than the single central chimney of the building we see today.
Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect of Bankside power station, was also the designer of the British red telephone box.

Millennium Bridge, Thames Embankment, London Oct 22, 2012 England. We had to wait for about 30 mins until the Millennium bridge was open again after some repairs. Day two of our stay in London. The weather wasn't kind to us!
In 1996, the Financial Times held an international competition in conjunction with the London Borough of Southwark and the Royal Institute of British Architects to design a new footbridge crossing the Thames between Southwark and Blackfriars bridges.
It would be the first pedestrian river crossing over the Thames in central London for more than a century, opening in time for the first year of the new Millennium.
It is a 325m steel bridge linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside.
Although the Millennium Bridge, like all bridges, was designed to cope with a degree of movement it soon became clear that things were going seriously awry as the deck swayed about like a drunken sailor.
Elderly walkers clung on to the side of the bridge. People reported feeling seasick. The swaying bridge was looking like an expensive fairground ride.
So the bridge was instantly renamed as 'The Wobbly Bridge', and after two days of random swaying, swinging and oscillating wildly, the bridge was closed down by embarrassed engineers.
After a prolonged series of tests, it was decided to adopt passive damping system which would harness the movements of the structure to absorb energy.
After nearly two years of testing, the alterations were deemed a success and the bridge finally reopened to the public in February 2002 - and the swaying was banished forever!

London Oct 22, 2012 England. Day two of our stay in London.. it had started to rain at times and we were walking from Tower of London to St Pauls.
London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. It is the most populous city in the United Kingdom with a metropolitan area of over 13 million inhabitants. Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) mediaeval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core.
Two recent discoveries indicate probable very early settlements near the Thames in the London area. In 1999, the remains of a Bronze Age bridge were found on the foreshore north of Vauxhall Bridge. This bridge either crossed the Thames, or went to a (lost) island in the river. Dendrology dated the timbers to 1500BC. In 2010 the foundations of a large timber structure, dated to 4500BC, were found on the Thames foreshore, south of Vauxhall Bridge. The function of the mesolithic structure is not known. Both structures are on South Bank, at a natural crossing point where the River Effra flows into the River Thames.
The etymology of London is uncertain. It is an ancient name, found in sources from the 2nd century. It is recorded c. 121 as Londinium, which points to Romano-British origin.

Relived the Disney magic that we all grew up with at Hong Kong Disneyland's Let It Snow Christmas Parade.
This book is so frickin' hilarious, The title should give you a good idea of what is inside. I love coffee table books and this is one I was very excited to receive as a gift. It has everything from old Neiman Marcus Christmas Book items (and as an avid subscriber to it since back in the day when you did not have to pay for it, I remember some of them!), to 1970's Marshall Fields/JC Penney/Sears ads. Seriously. If you think you may even be slightly amused, I suggest you get it. No matter your age, you and your parents and kids and whoever will find something they remember in this.
Oh and apparently this is ISO 6400!!!! I asked Dave for the D90 when he was taking his YIP for today, and I did not change any settings...then when I was looking at his photo I was like, "yeah, it did seem a little grainy but I was surprised I was in the kitchen/nook with no lights on, the SB600 NOT attached, and it looked perfect!" hah!

In the Crypt Museum at All Hallows-by-the-Tower Church in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Oct 22, 2012 England. Day two of our stay in London.. Wish I could have had more as this is where I lived for sixteen years. The weather was overcast and fogy..just about raining.. but it wasn't cold!
The Crypt Museum leads you on a fascinating journey through time, beginning with the Roman tessellated floor of a domestic house in the late 2nd Century and charting the history of the church, its people and the City of London.
The museum is in part of the original Saxon church and contains a collection of Roman and Saxon artefacts, church plate and ancient registers dating back to the 16th century. Their entries record the baptism of William Penn, the marriage of John Quincy-Adams and the burial of Archbishop William Laud amongst many other historic events on Tower Hill.
A model of Talbot House recalls the work of the Rev'd 'Tubby' Clayton, former Vicar of All Hallows and founder of TocH.
All Hallows-by-the-Tower, also previously dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin and sometimes known as All Hallows Barking, is an ancient Anglican church on Byward Street in the City of London, overlooking the Tower of London.

All Hallows by the Tower is the oldest church in the City of London and was founded 300 years before the Tower of London by nearly three hundred years, having been founded by the Abbey of Barking in 675AD. An arch from the Saxon church can still be seen today. In the crypt beneath is a Roman pavement, discovered in 1926, evidence of city life on this site for nearly two thousand years.
Located next to the Tower of London, the church has cared for numerous beheaded bodies brought for temporary burial following their executions on Tower Hill, including those of Thomas More, Bishop John Fisher and Archbishop Laud.
In 1666 the Great Fire of London started in Pudding Lane, a few hundred yards from the church. All Hallows survived through the efforts of Admiral Penn (William Penn's father) who, along with his friend Samuel Pepys, watched London burn from the tower of the church. William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, was baptised in the church and educated in the old schoolroom.
John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the USA, was married in All Hallows in 1797 and the Marriage Register entry is on display in the Undercroft Museum.
The church suffered extensive bomb damage during World War II and only the tower and the walls remained. The church was rebuilt after the war and was rededicated in 1957. The vicar at the time was the Rev'd "Tubby" Clayton, founder of the Toc H movement whose lamp of maintenance still shines in the Lady Chapel.

Tower Bridge (built 1886–1894) is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London which crosses the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name, and has become an iconic symbol of London.
The bridge consists of two towers tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. Originally it was painted a mid greenish-blue colour.

The Lord Raglan was named to commemorate Fitzroy Sommerset, the Lord Raglan. Field Marshal FitzRoy James Henry Somerset was the First Baron Raglan from 1788 to 1855, known before 1852 as Lord FitzRoy Somerset. He Served in the Peninsula War and was military secretary to the Duke of Wellington. In 1854, he was commander in chief of the British troops in the Crimen. Despite his many accolades, Lord Raglan was often regarded as ineffective in that role. In the battle of Waterloo, Lord Raglan lost his right arm, thus coining the term Raglan sleeve.
The Lord Raglan pub is one of the oldest sites in the city. It was originally known as ‘the Bush’ but then changed to Lord Raglan. This magnificent pub still retains much of its original features, including the remained of an old Roman Wall in the cellar.
