Dirty old river, must you keep rolling,
flowing into the night
People so busy, make me feel dizzy,
taxi light shines so bright
But I don't, need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset,
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine.
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night
But I don't, feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine.
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound
And they don't, need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset, they are in paradise
Waterloo sunset's fine.

Well now, it's been a while since I've posted a tree portrait. I love trees, always have, but find them really hard to photograph satisfactorily. But here's a tree I photographed a little while back and am still pretty keen on. Enjoy!

This is a photograph of Waterloo Bridge and the temporary Bridge taken from the South Bank looking north. This is probably 1931, Brettenham House in Lancaster Place looks partly built, it was completed in 1932. The original Waterloo Bridge was designed by John Rennie and opened in 1817 as the Strand Bridge, its name was later changed to the Waterloo Bridge after Wellington's victory over Napoleon in 1815. In the early 1830s the old London Bridge was demolished and a new London Bridge again designed by John Rennie was built, the removal of the old bridge caused an increase in the river flow and the resulting scour caused problems for several of the Waterloo Bridge piers. This was noticed as early as the 1880s but by the 1920s the situation had become very serious, so much so that in August 1924 the building of a temporary steel girder bridge was started on the downstream side of the bridge. The roadway of Waterloo Bridge was removed to lessen the weight and a temporary wooden roadway installed. It took just a year for the temporary bridge to be built and it was opened on the 12th August 1925. From that date until 1934 an argument raged between the LCC who wished to demolish the bridge and the Royal Academy and other art institutions who wished the bridge to be repaired. Eventually in 1934 the demolition of the old Waterloo Bridge commenced. The current Waterloo Bridge partially opened in 1942 despite being hit by German bombs during an air raid, the only Bridge in London to be hit during WW2. The temporary bridge was removed and it was later used to span the Rhine at Remagen. The bridge was fully opened in 1945. After its completion the bridge was often known as the "Ladies Bridge" because of the large number of women employed on its construction during the war years.

If you're a commuter into London Waterloo you'll have been having fun and games this month as half the station is shut whilst they extend the platforms and put down new tracks. The first week wasn't too bad, but so far this week there's been chaos mainly due to a partial train derailment that brought things to a standstill.
Still, every cloud has a silver lining, and the old Eurostar terminal has been temporarily reopen to help ease congestion. It's due to stay open until the end of the month and will then close again so that they can complete the refurbishment and it will reopen at the end of 2018.
Waterloo Village takes the visitor through time from a 400-year old Lenape (Delaware) Indian village to a bustling port along the once prosperous Morris Canal. This early 19th-century restored village contains a working mill complex with gristmills and sawmills, a general store, blacksmith shop and several historic houses. This is always a great place to spend the day and particularly pretty now with the colors of fall.
There is a lot of activity in the village now and it looks like there is quite a bit of work going into the restoration. There were far more people working there today than we have seen in previous visits. Good to see!

London Transport RM1393 passes through on a southbound 68 in June 1986. I would have arrived here from Dunstable on the Tourmaster Bedford in the background.
Having a Leyland engine would ensure an early withdrawal for RM1393, sold and scrapped within a year. The route itself would become OPO in the October.

Another infrared effort. Waterloo Gardens is a small park adjacent to St Margaret's Church, Cardiff. Some well kept flower borders spring to life in the summer. A stream runs along one edge across which this footbridge spans.

Waterloo is a Belgium beer (tripple blond/strong dark).
The reflection on the glass resembles a sunset.

It was not a pleasant sight.

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on
Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day, I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)

Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on
Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise..........
Today at Waterloo Station, London, snapped with my phone (uncharacteristically I didn't't have a camera with me). Thought the curves of the roof were very pleasing.
