Thanks everyone for your support.
Another from my series of photos from Jan 1st 2006 at Hammersmith Bridge. Once the Sun did break through I got a lot of exercise running up and down Hammersmith Mall and across the bridge to get the best of the light and its reflections.
Having stood around getting cold for an hour I was plunged into a lot of activity while the light lasted; looking at the photo now I think it would have been nice to have shot it as a portrait*; I'll remember that if I should ever get a similar combination of light and tide ever again!
Hammersmith Bridge was the first suspension bridge to be built over the River Thames; the bridge was originally designed by Tierney Clarke, now little known but in his time a very successful engineer. The Bridge as it now exists was rebuilt in the mid nineteenth century by Joseph Bazalgette who went on to design and build the London Sewerage system and the Embankment.
* I remember now, it's like this to avoid a nasty old landing stage that's just out of shot in this image, I have a load more unpublished in which the landing stage dominates the scene.
June 12th 2009 This scene has changed somewhat, as the 'Port of London Authority' (who administer the tidal Thames), have been along and given a most severe lopping to the tree behind the left hand tower. I do wish they'd leave this sort of thing alone, the tree was healthy and nicely formed; it will take years to regrow. So if you want a picture of it as it was, well, you know who to ask!

03 Август 2010, 16:34 madaboutgreys You are soooo right - this set is sublime! I have browsed on your website and they are all gorgeous. But I especially like the ones where the viewpoint emphasises the curves of the bridge. The strong symmetrical reflections in this shot are lovely.

Beautiful light from the setting sun. The
riples in the reflection on the water is
fantastic.And yes - it is that Kalundborg from the
radio. It's a town right beside my summer
house and the lighthouse is a part of the
navigation from then :-)
