I uploaded a photo, yesterday, of another Svitzer tug, Ganges, which looks (to me, non-nautical, non-mechanical person) very similar to this one, Svitzer Monarch. Like Ganges, it was built in China in 2016, finished in Hong Kong and brought to Chatham to be named. Like Ganges, it has a name in relief on a panel above its life-belt, in this case Helena (Ganges was originally Celia). Later photos of Ganges show it with the original name obscured by white name plates, as occurs with Monarch. Both tugs, to my (not necessarily reliable) memory appeared on the Thames at much the same time. Both, at today's date, are moored at Sheerness, at the mouth of the Medway. They must be twins.

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. Because of this, Tower Bridge is sometimes confused with London Bridge, situated some 0.5 mi (0.80 km) upstream. Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is the only one of the Trust's bridges not to connect the City of London directly to the Southwark bank, as its northern landfall is in Tower Hamlets.
February morning hike along the icy shore of the North Thames river in London, Ontario.
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!
A planned test closure of all the barriers, Taken from the south bank, east, downstream of the barrier.
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.
i thought there was a nice framing of the barrier through the concrete window and leading lines along the tunnel.
One of the pair of the tallest pylons in the UK, at 190m (623ft) tall, carrying 400kv cables across the River Thames between West Thurrock, Essex and Swanscombe, Kent. The crossing is 1372m wide.
This is a photograph of the Thames river as seen from the Millennium bridge. The reflections came out ok here and I was surprised the picture was sharp, as the bridge was very shaky indeed.
The Shard and Tower bridge can be seen in the distance.
Cobelfret's ro-ro cargo ship or ferry, Wilhelmine, sailing up Gravesend Reach on the River Thames: like any of the other Cobelfret fleet I've seen, its name ends in 'ine'.
Taken yesterday, Wilhelmine was on its way to Fords Jetty, Dagenham, a few miles up river: it's now back at Vlissingen, Netherlands and is due back on the Thames tomorrow, 14 August 2024. It seems to be carrying vehicles: I don't think Ford build cars in the UK, now, but they do make diesel engines...
Wilhelmine was built in Japan in 2012 and is 152 meters in length.

Sorry I have been so absent from Flickr for 6 months. My problems started in June when I fell off my bicycle resulting in a very bad sprain to the hip resulting in 4 weeks on crutches. When just about over that I did my back in followed by 6 weeks of reduced mobility. After that the hip gave trouble again. Now I am hopeful of a first visit to London next Month for the first time since April.
This is a newly processed shot from 4 January. That day I made a night visit to the Thames foreshore with many shots worthy of editing. My main objective was the City at night especially from the Thames Foreshore which gives such a different viewpoint. This view is from the foreshore just east of the Millennium Bridge looking towards Southwark Bridge and The Shard beyond that. Of particular interest is the old building on the left and the remains of a wooden jetty on the shore dating probably from the late Middle Ages. The view is from the North Bank with St Paul’s out of shot behind and to the left and the Tate Modern a Modern Art Museum and former Power Station on the right and behind.. All navigable rivers in the UK belong to the Crown and were transferred to various public bodies over the years. For many centuries Londoners have gained public access to the foreshore with a number of access points all along the river with stairs some of better quality than others. There are public access stairs just east of the Millennium Bridge on both the north and south banks. Access is allowed but not digging without a permit.
It is particularly interesting to see the green line half way up the building on the left showing the wide range of the tide in London
The picture was taken 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 detail enhancer setting in Photomatix. Topaz clarity was used for more detail. Topaz Denoise was also used. In Photoshop various brightness adjustment layers were used with masks to get various areas just right including less bright on the bridge.

A wonderful summer sunset in London by the river Thames with a beer or two (or was it even three?). I was lucky to catch the whole summer in London (apparently consisting of 2.5 days per year). So after an evening in the photographers-famous Richmond park I took the Tube and Southeast Trains to the Thames Barrier.
Water usually provides a good mood for sunset photos.
