lonely jas... sitting by the millenium bridge in the cold night wondering when i'll be done....

i especially like this photo because the millenium bridge leads your eye to st paul's cathedral on the left. the long exposure allowed the light from the bridge to be reflected on the river thames. the only problem is maybe too much sky in the picture, some moving clouds would have been nice.

Europe Trip - London - Day 2 (Part 9)

the millenium bridge was opened in june 2000 and closed 3 days later when it was found to wobble alot, the problem was eventually rectified. according to an interview with the designer, he says there is nothing wrong with the bridge, just the way people walk... hmm?...

if you look at the far end of the millennium bridge, you'll see the dome of the st paul's cathedral
