This morning I was a little early and had some time on my hands before catching the train to work, so I decided on a quick detour down to the river.
I live close to the River Thames, near to where it becomes an estuary and joins the North Sea, so this part of the river is still quite industrial.
The water was almost perfectly still today, just the odd ripple here and there. The boat is loading or off-loading gas to a storage facility whilst commuters cross the QE2 bridge in the background.
