The new Blackfriars Station spanning the River Thames in London will be completing and opened in stages over the next 6 months. The station spans the River Thames and passengers can access the station from both the north and south banks. Already a new station entrance on the Southbank has opened giving train travellers easy access to the Tate Modern.
Camden Market and the footbridge over Regent’s Canal on an autumn Sunday evening.
Visiting the Venice Biennale you get the best of both worlds: contemporary at Arsenale and Giardini and then, the surrounding city.
Nearby buildings and late afternoon traffic reflected in Poured Lines, the painting by Ian Davenport under the railway bridge leading into Blackfriars Station close to Tate Modern. The painting is the length of 5 London buses (not of the bendy variety) and consists of straight lines in 300 different colours.
On a Thames walk during an almost spring-like Thursday afternoon, I captured some of the detail on Barnes Bridge. It is a railway bridge and it can be crossed on foot as well, one of only three bridges in London for trains and pedestrians only. The crocus were in full bloom, but the photo of the week goes to the bridge for its simple form but striking appearance.
Don’t do roses (just shoot them)
Don’t do chocolates (just eat them)
Don’t do St Valentine’s Day cards
…….just build bridges
