The Thames

Walked down to Tower Bridge after work and the place was packed with Olympic tourists of every nationality you can image.. Many wearing their Country's colours or with flags painted on their faces... Was a great atmosphere..

As the tide was out I walked down to the 'beach' and got shots of one of the many tall ships that have arrived in London for the Games..

[Richard Tyson]

super shot Andy, looking forward to checking out the scene tomorrow!

Whoa cool. Love the bird. What are those hula-hoop things hanging on the bridge?

[Catherine Phillips]

Super shot! So many interesting details!

Great shot - the tall ships were in Baltimore in June and I got a lot of great pictures while they were here.

That's quite an amazing ship! You reported the electric atmosphere beautifully! Wish I were there! Gorgeous!

this is a wonderful photo... so much to look at... but i have to say, much as i LOVE tall ships, for me, it's the bird that makes this shot!!!

[Graham Harcombe]

What an event this is! Super shot too. That looks like the lovely French Belem.

OK... the dynamic of this shot is pretty fabulous. It's ironic how well that tall ship works in this shot. It's not even remotely out of place. Atta' boy chap! (Do they say that in your neck of the woods?)

[Boxplayer]
