London Day Out 18-8-2012 Cleopatra's Needle Wenlock

The smoke lingering after the climax of the display.

This is the summer of 1907 and the London County Council paddle steamer "William Morris" approaches Charing Cross Pier from downstream. One of the thirty paddle steamers built for the LCC in 1903-1905, "William Morris" was built by Thames Ironworks at Blackwall and named for the Victorian arts and crafts artist, designer, Poet and writer. The boat was sold by auction in September 1909 to City Steamboat Co for £395.00 having cost £6000.00 to build. The company later sold it to a German company for service on the River Rhine between Cologne and Mulheim.

London Day Out 18-8-2012 Somerset House Mandeville

The moon was quite prominant in the late afternoon sky again today, so thought I would have another crack at it. Took a few shots which turned out ok. A gull flew in to frame in this one, and although the gull is totally out of focus, I thought it made for a fun image.

I've previously I posted another shot of the Memoral Arch on the Victoria Embankment taken from the same shoot. This evening I've been playing about with a few of the extra frames I had from the shoot to take my mind of my throbbing toe (just had a bi-lateral partial nail avulsion so I'm not getting out with the camera anytime soon).

This is a 25 second exposure using the B+W ND110 filter.

Explored 11 Jan 2012 #446

We reached the river at Blackfriars, and then proceeded to walk alongside the river underneath the golden trees, which would have been wonderful, except for the four lanes of heavy traffic passing b us on the right

But, it is London, and what makes it wonderful, interesting, photogenic also makes it popular, so the dozens of parked buses and coached lined up at the side of the road.

Still pleasant enough, as long as you don't get in the way of a rampaging jogger or two.

Boats going down the Thames ready for the river pageant. We were stood on Victoria Embankment and had an amazing view of the London Eye aswell.

Best viewed in large The River Thames is a major river flowing through southern England. While it is best known because its lower reaches flow through central London, the river flows alongside several other towns and cities, including Oxford, Reading, Henley-on-Thames, Windsor, Kingston upon Thames and Richmond.

The river gives its name to several geographical and political entities including the Thames Valley, a region of England centred around the river between Oxford and west London, the Thames Gateway, the area centred around the tidal Thames, and the Thames Estuary to the east of London

The centre section of this facade originally had arched windows similar to that seen on the right. It was rebuilt in the 1930s to the design of Charles Holden.

Prelude to the T.U.C's "March for the Alternative", London, 26/03/2011

Continuing my coverage of the amazing half a million working people who joined together from all corners of the United Kingdom to march in protest against the vicious public sector job cuts and cuts to all Public Services planned by David Cameron's Conservative government.

I won't rant any further - read my previous "March for the Alternative" photo descriptions for that - so please just enjoy these images of the preparations for the march which started early in the morning along London's Victoria Embankment.

'HQS Wellington'.

Temple Pier, Victoria Embankment, on the River Thames, London 2011.

HMS Wellington (launched Devonport, 1934) is a Grimsby-class sloop, formerly of the Royal Navy. HMS Wellington served in the Pacific mainly on station in New Zealand and China before the Second World War. As built, Wellington mounted two 4.7 inch guns and one three inch gun. Additionally, anti-aircraft guns were fitted for self-defense. Depth charges for use against submarines were also carried. The Wellington served primarily in the North Atlantic on convoy escort duties. She shared in the destruction of one enemy U boat and was involved in Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of troops from Dunkirk.

She is now moored alongside the Victoria Embankment, at Temple Pier, on the River Thames in London as the headquarters ship of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners where she is known as HQS Wellington. It was always the ambition of the founding members of the Company to have a Livery Hall. Up to the outbreak of war in 1939, various proposals were examined, including the purchase of the sailing ship, the Archibald Russell.

After the war, it became apparent that the possibility of building a Hall in the City of London had been rendered very remote. In 1947, the Grimsby-class sloop Wellington was made available by the Admiralty. The Company decided to buy her with money subscribed by the members and convert her to a floating Livery Hall - an appropriate home for a Company of seafarers.

The Tattershall Castle is a floating pub anchored off the Victoria embankment on the River Thames. The building in the background is Whitehall Court, which houses the Royal Horseguards hotel and the National Liberal Club.
