Green Algae

Gotta love the hot, hot weather London the UK has at the moment.. And gotta love the headlines in the papers "Scorcher!", "Hotter than Malibu", "London puts Mumbai in the shade"...

One day of temps in the the 80s...Suppose they've got to write something now they can't hack phones for their stories..!!!!

Woke up to a strange site, completely blue skies out my front window, clouds and a rainbow out back.. Shame I was rushing and no time for a pic..

So instead, here's Limehouse Basin, covered in green algae.. This seems to happen every year during summer and looks quite strange..!

[Phil Howcroft]

ooh err Andy, if i hadn't read the narrative i would have thought you'd gone 'post processing mad' with the water :)

[Mrs. Smith]

The water is certainly very green.

doesn't make me want to go for a swim, but I wouldn't mind going out on that very cool looking boat. Love the headlinie Hotter than Malibu too funny

[Tanya]

Appropriate considering its name! funny news headlines :)

@jpgiorgio Hi JP, yeah this is London - a little harbour just of the Thames - that's Canary Wharf in the background

[loonietunes]

i think i haven spotted this before too, it does look very unusual

[andy c]

@tunes if you're ever on the DLR going to Bank, the whole harbour is covered, looks really weird from the train...
