Photochallenge #184: Bridge
This entry is about two footbridges.

The first is the Millenium Bridge - the famous wobbly bridge running between the Tate Modern in Bankside and St Paul's on the north side of the river. It's not wobbly any more though and there were plenty of people walking across it yesterday when I took these pics.
#1 is a view along the edge of the bridge with St Paul's just appearing to the left.
#2 looks east along the river and shows four bridges -- the struts of the millenium bridge in the foreground, next Southwark bridge with the pillars of London Bridge just visible between its arches. Finally you can make out Tower Bridge, hazy in the distance.
#3 is a reflection of the bridge in a window at the northern end.

The second, which we walked across last Sunday, is known as the Linkbridge and takes the Woolwich promenade across a wall which is part of the flood defences at this point (just downriver from the Thames Barrier). Standing on the viewing platform at the top you can almost imagine you are standing on the prow of a boat. The Tate and Lyle factory is opposite on the north bank of the river.
