Bumped into my first 'painting on dropped chewing gum artist' on the millennium bridge the other day - he does requests.
Cheers for any comments and faves.
Thanks for looking.

The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, England, linking Bankside with the City. It is located between Southwark Bridge (downstream) and Blackfriars Railway Bridge (upstream). The bridge is owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. Construction of the bridge began in 1998, with the opening on 10 June 2000.
Londoners nicknamed the bridge the "Wobbly Bridge" after participants in a charity walk on behalf of Save the Children to open the bridge felt an unexpected, and, for some, uncomfortable, swaying motion on the first two days after the bridge opened. The bridge was closed later that day, and after two days of limited access the bridge was closed for almost two years while modifications were made to eliminate the wobble entirely. It was reopened in 2002.
The southern end of the bridge is near Globe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery and Tate Modern, the north end next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view of St Paul's south facade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports.
The nearest London Underground station is Mansion House.

Thanks for stopping by.

This one's for you Pip, we all had a great day. Good luck to you, James and the move to San Francisco

The Millennium Bridge springs from a creative collaboration between architecture, art and engineering. Developed with sculptor Anthony Caro and engineers Arup, the commission resulted from an international competition. London's only pedestrian bridge and the first new crossing on this part of the Thames in more than a century, it links the City and St Paul's Cathedral to the north with the Globe Theatre and Tate Modern on Bankside. A key element in London's pedestrian infrastructure, it has created new routes into Southwark and encouraged new life on the embankment alongside St Paul's.
Structurally, the bridge pushes the boundaries of technology. Spanning 320 metres, it is a very shallow suspension bridge. Two Y-shaped armatures support eight cables that run along the sides of the 4-metre-wide deck, while steel transverse arms clamp on to the cables at 8-metre intervals to support the deck itself. This groundbreaking structure means that the cables never rise more than 2.3 metres above the deck, allowing those crossing the bridge to enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views and preserving sight lines from the surrounding buildings. As a result, the bridge has a uniquely thin profile, forming a slender arc across the water. A slender ribbon of steel by day, it is illuminated to form a glowing blade of light at night.
The bridge opened in June 2000 and an astonishing 100,000 people crossed it during the first weekend. However, under this heavy traffic the bridge exhibited greater than expected lateral movement, and as a result it was temporarily closed. Extensive research revealed that this movement was caused by synchronised pedestrian footfall − a phenomenon of which little was previously known in the engineering world. The solution was to fit dampers discreetly beneath the deck to mitigate movement. This proved highly successful and the research undertaken by the engineers has resulted in changes to the codes for bridge building worldwide.

20 Fenchurch Street, otherwise known as the "Walkie Talkie" building is in the background. My wife thinks it looks like a misshapen loaf of bread! The light conditions at the time where absolutely ideal to achieve this photograph so I was very fortunate. I have a series of these and will post them from time to time.

It was a hard decision what to post for today’s blog.
This image is of the Millennium bridge in London with, as you can see, a few people doing their thing on it. It was taken during a non-eventful sunset, but I converted to black and white and then used the curve tool to blow out the whites and darken the shadows to be left with this silhouette.
I felt that this image was quite compelling, so chose to process a couple of other scenes in the same way, before turning them all into a triptych. This is where the hard decision came in; I wasn’t sure if I preferred this single image or the triptych itself. In the end the solo won.
I've added the other two images that make it up, along with the triptych itself, over on the blog if you want to check those out and let me know which you prefer. www.murphyz.co.uk/2013/08/22/millennium/

The millennium falcon is still the coolest spaceship in the galaxy! This is why I have always wanted to build my own version! Inspired by Mikes, WIP-images, I was encouraged to start my own project.
It took me a whole year to accomplish this build (including planning and collecting bricks). Net building time 240 hours.
My main goal was to present the model in a flying position, which was a huge task. Due to its internal framework it was not possible to include an interior, but I was able to fully lighten the model. And there was still enough space left to include a detailed cockpit (with 4 seats), gunner’s platform and a lowering ramp. Credits to EB member ScottishDave for his original design of the radar dish.
Measuring: 82 cm x 54 cm x 18 cm
Weight: approx. 9.2 kg
Parts count: approx. 7500 pieces
I am proud how this creation came together – I hope you like it as well.
Thanks MB
The London Millennium Footbridge. I love this part of London. Behind me is the Tate Modern Gallery and over the river is St Paul's Cathedral. I love walking from Westminster Bridge down river to Tower Bridge.
The Millennium Biltmore Hotel, originally the Los Angeles Biltmore of the Bowman-Biltmore Hotels group, is a luxury hotel located opposite Pershing Square in Downtown Los Angeles, California. Upon its grand opening in 1923, the Los Angeles Biltmore was the largest hotel west of Chicago in the United States. As of 2009, the Los Angeles Biltmore is operated as part of the Millennium & Copthorne Hotels chain as the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. The hotel has 70,000 square feet (6,500 m2) of meeting and banquet space. From its original 1500 guestrooms, it now has 683, due to room reorganization.
The Millennium Bridge across the Thames, linking St Paul's with Tate Modern amongst other attractions. It opened in June 2000 and closed shortly thereafter as it was subject to swaying when it had many pedestrians, and had to be modified. It was designed by Arup and Foster and Partners, with contributions from Sir Anthony Caro. Apart from being (I think) an attractive and interesting structure, it obviously meets a need, as it's heavily used. Its length is 325 m (1,066 ft) and its eight suspension cables are tensioned to pull with a force of 2,000 tons against the piers set into each bank. This shot I took several years ago and for some reason overlooked.
