The Millennium Bridge and St Paul's by fishers

The Millennium Bridge and St Paul's

Continuing my London sightseeing! I made my way to St Paul's the other day, and wandered across the Millennium Bridge which is very close to it. When that bridge was opened, there was a lot of controversy because it swayed violently from side to side as people walked across it! They had to close it for two years to eliminate the wobble. The wobble does have a posh name, and for more info on what caused it, see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Bridge,_London

And I've always wanted to see if St Paul's looks like it did in Mary Poppins. I'm sad to report that there was no old woman asking me to feed the birds for tuppence a bag!

A really good composition, with great pov. I like the way you're below the bridge, which leads across to St Paul's.

Nice composition and story to go with this bridge. I believe Ms. Poppins has retired!
