thames barrier

This is the Thames Barrier, one of the largest flood defence structures in the world. The Thames today was very high and so you can just see the central barrel has been raised (far left) - for flood defence.

Anyway - it's a bit different from a Christmas decoration or a food shot!

Thanks for all your recent comments - I appreciate every one.

Oh I was hoping someone would take a shot of the Thames barrier as I have been hearing so much about it on the news today. Thanks for sharing.
