Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse first built in 1599 for which William Shakespeare wrote his plays. Like the original, it is located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Southwark, London. The reconstruction was completed in 1997 and while concentrating on Shakespeare's work also hosts a variety of other theatrical productions. Part of the Globe's complex also hosts the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for smaller, indoor productions, in a setting which also recalls the period.

My sister Jan and I spent an evening walking along the Thames Path (Riverside walk) London, standing on London Bridge looking South across the River Thames towards the Shard.
I used a Lee Twilight Filter and a Lee Enhancer Filter.
Took this shot while walking along the Thames Path between Maidenhead and Windsor. The River Thames flows to the right of the photo.
The Thames Barrier is a retractable barrier system built to protect the floodplain of most of Greater London from exceptionally high tides and storm surges.

The Thames Barrier prevents the floodplain of most of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea.

Seen on Carousel route 102 in High Wycombe Bus Station.
The overnight 102 duties are covered by Thames Travel staff as the control room at Didcot is open 24/7. All week, the main overnight shift is covered using a Carousel vehicle, but on a Sunday an extra vehicle is required and this comes from Didcot. Typically, it is one of these recently reliveried Harwell E200s, which look very smart on the route and drive well along the A40.

The Thames Barrier was must visit during my last trip to London. Lots of rain and wind meant some challenges and it would have been better at high tide but I'm happy with the result :-)
DISCLAIMER
I did not take this picture. My eldest son has been into photography for a while. He persuaded me to ditch my allegiance to Canon and pick up a Sony A7iii a while back. And he was not wrong. Canon's mirrorless offering at the time was nowhere near. Anyway, he's been without a camera for a while so I agreed to let him borrow my camera to do some long exposure shots. So we went down to an old haunt of mine and he shot this.
Rather annoyingly, I think his shot is better than the ones I did there a while back.
15-sec, f18, ISO 50.
Damn!

An oil/chemical tanker, Verdi, sailing up the River Thames, exiting Lower Hope.
I often speculate about the names ships have: sometimes they appear to have completely inexplicable names (Morning Prosperity on a slab-like car carrier)...or they may be personal, perhaps a family member.
'Verdi' may be a name, or the colour green...which it surely can't be, as green is the opposite colour to red, which this ship seems to be, so unless whoever named it was 'avin' a laff, it can't be that. But it would be fun.
Perhaps the ship is named after the composer, Guiseppe Verdi ? Verdi composed what is the most sexy song (well, 'aria' if you're being precious) ever, 'Stride la vampa', so why not ?
I once had a 'discussion' with an opera snob who insisted opera was 'high culture' and better than, say, Eastenders. I offered the opinion that 'Il Trovatore' had a plot stupider than anything Eastenders or even Crossroads attempted and was written by a man whose name translated as Joe Green...I mean...
Anyway, Verdi now sails as Liza E (who ?...blah blah blah) and is on its way from Limas, Turkiye, to Temryuk, Russia. It was built in 1999 in Czechia.

tomorrow we are having a Sunday lunch here to celebrate Ben's 40th birthday. The years have passed by so quickly, I can't really believe this is happening! As Peter keeps saying - how come Ben is the same age as me!
River Thames looking upstream from Greenhithe with the QE2 bridge (Dartford Crossing) in the background.
Maybe one day they'll replace the bulbs in that broken light on Westminster bridge, but Im not holding my breath, it's been a while...
Just came across this while looking for something else!
Clearly it is the north side of the Thames, as seen from the 'ferry' as we whizzed along from Greenwich back towards Tower bridge this time two years ago, but I cannot recall anymore than that. Thames Police? St John's Wharf? I just liked the light I expect!
I have got quite in to exploring the Thames Foreshore at low tide to find different viewpoints. On Saturday I used the Custom House steps on the north bank for the first time. These are located half way between London Bridge and Tower Bridge at the end of Water Lane with access from the Thames Path. I found them through research online which was confirmed on Google Street View. It was also necessary to check the tides to find a day when low tide coincided with blue hour though in this case the weather didn’t oblige and it was more like grey hour but at least it was dry. The old timber poles may be the remains of jetties which formed a much more extensive structure for ships to pull alongside parallel to the shore. HMS Belfast can be seen on the far left and London Bridge on the far right.
The picture was taken on a tripod and with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 zoom at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing for HDR. The picture was enhanced with HDR processing using tone Photomatix 6 and Tone Balancer setting for a natural look. The Plus 2 EV image was used to increase shadow detail. Topaz clarity was used for more detail. In Photoshop the lens correction tool was used to straighten verticals. The heal and clone tools were used to tidy including removing 2 cranes near the shard. Some adjustments were made to hue saturation to bring up saturation overall in the reflections only using a layer mask. Various brightness adjustment layers were used with masks to get various areas just right.

My sister Jan and I spent an evening walking along the Thames Path (Riverside Walk) London and come across these fabulous images.
The City of London wanted to replicate etchings, engravings, drawings and lithographic prints of Southwark Bridge onto tiles for their pedestrian underpass (north side) of Southwark Bridge.
The traditional Victorian panel layouts were printed sympathetically so they looked like traditional 'Delftware' on Victorian tiles.
