London Skies

Posted on the 10 June 2011 by Elizabethwix

After the sweltering heat of New York (100'F) yesterday

 

the cool of England is a welcome respite --other than geting soaked to the skin in a downpour sans raincoat. The "Shard" which is just being completed near London Bridge Station is not quite as exciting as the "Gerkin" --extreme right.

Tower Bridge looks much as ever above the rather dull 1950's housing in the foreground.

I put this picture in because of the aeroplane up above the clouds. I hate planes. 'Nuff said.

Here you get two Shards and a roof deck......

and a bit more of the same.....

It is meant to rain on and off for the next week.

I feel quite at home.
