The Millennium Bridge spans the Thames River and leads toward the Saint Paul Cathedral, London

The first week of our July 2013 overseas trip was spent in London. As you can imagine, we did a lot of walking! London is no place for this American driver to even attempt to drive, for all the reasons you can imagine – driving on the “wrong” side of the road, narrow and convoluted street layout, parking, and all the rest. So, as many do, we got around by underground, bus, and a lot of walking. Fortunately, once you get where you are going, this is a very walkable city.

On a few occasions we crossed to the south side of the Thames river – to see a play at the New Globe Theater, to visit the Tate Museum, to meet people for dinner, and to generally wander around in interesting looking places. Each time we found ourselves there in the evening we walked back across on the Millennium Bridge, a pedestrian-only bridge located near St. Paul’s Cathedral. On this evening we started across at sunset and managed to stretch out the trip long enough to arrive on the other side in near darkness. Although I had no tripod, I did manage to do a series of low light and almost-night photographs of the river and the surrounding city, including this photograph that looks across the river from the south bank along the bridge toward the iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral.
