overcome the barrier

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 moving up from the North Sea. It has been operational since 1982. Wikipedia

 

Revisiting old photos with the latest version of Lightroom and some nostalgia, hmm, I don't feel that old, yet.

Making the most of a cloudy day I relied on the architecture to shine!

Let's stay at the Café Cap Landen on the Italian riviera, which serves as our refuge after our continuous swim. The view of the glistening sea is indeed phenomenal. Today I have published a picture story (with German text, but there are mainly pictures) on my blog that tells of a day under the Ligurian sun. It includes family and souvenir photos that I would never publish on flickr. I think a few of my following friends are interested on my picture story: www.anchor.ch/italien/ein-tag-unter-der-ligurischen-sonne/

An abstract shot from an early morning walk - this is an illuminated barrier post to keep cars out. Shot full-frame, I found it interesting

Don't try this as home - or in the Thames for that matter. This is not an idea place to be and you have to be aware of the tide - especially in the River Thames.

This one, taken on the foreshore looks back at the Thames Barrier with Canary Wharf and the setting Sun in the distance.

No, we couldn't bring the columns down, no we couldn't destroy a single one.

This is the Thames Barrier and the view through to the Docklands area of London, taken at around 10.00pm, just love the reflected colours and light! ! tripod used at about 15 seconds on F22

  

Southern Outer Banks. A look to the right in the photo reveals the breaks in the barrier dunes because of Hurricane Florence which caused a lot of damage here. Thanks for your visit and support. Have a relaxing Sunday.

Driving over the bridge, view from in between the barriers.

The Penmaenpool toll bridge makes it just a short walk to the RSPB bird reserve at Coed Garth Gell and the facilities at Taicynhaeaf.

Penmaenpool Visitor Information

Penmaenpool (pronounced ‘Pen-mine-pool’) originated as the estate village to serve Penmaenuchaf Hall, the country residence for a Lancashire entrepeneur. The village consisted of a terrace of workers cottages, a model farm and a railway station. Penmaenpool Map & Directions

 

With free public parking with toilets, Penmaenpool is a great place to join the Mawddach Way or the Dolgellau to Barmouth railway walk, the Mawddach Trail.
