..... Cathedral

St Pauls Cathedral in fact. One of the most iconic buildings of London, it is the replacement cathedral built by Sir Christopher Wren following the loss of the previous one in the 1666 Great Fire of London.

Over the years there have been moves to keep the views of the Cathedral clear from most sides but slowly and surely we are losing them. There are a number of listed views of buildings and the one that covers St Pauls is from Ludgate Circus, but there are even rumours that the government will eventually allow the full view to be lost. Whilst most countries in the world would want to preserve views of their historic buildings it seems like the powers that be here have had enough history now.

Big Wheel!

Actually this one is the London Eye. Opened for the Millenium it has become a real feature of the Southbank area and every time there is a plan to close it there is a public outcry. If you find yourself in London, which can be an expensive place at the best of times, I reckon this is one thing you can do and it's well worth the money.

And as a Bonus you get another couple of B's. Big Ben in the background.

Had to visit Northern France today so went to the beach at Wimeraux between Calais and Boulogne. Unfortunately there were no windsurfers out today otherwise I might have got another W in there!

ABC Wednesday : T is for...

Trolleys.

There is something about a nicely formed line(s) of supermarket trolleys that is pleasing to the eye. Or at least my eye. This lot actually are nicely packed so they're straight rather than a bit wiggly.

I think I might be a bit obsessive here! :)
