Yes, those are polka dot trees, adding a little color to the South Bank promenade from Waterloo Bridge down toward Parliament. I’m loving these walks although with the Sotomayor hearings (not carried on the BBC, at least in the cable systems in this apartment, (which doesn’t offer CNN either until evening), I feel pretty cut off from home. I’ve chosen just to go with it though. It’s so lovely to work for a while, spend an hour walking along the Thames, then return, take a shower, read Wired while I eat lunch and then work once more, and it’s only five weeks, so I’m just going to enjoy it.
For now, here are a couple of others photos from today’s wanderings.
You know what this is, but it’s fun to stand across the river and see it right before you.
This is a sanctioned skate park with permitted graffiti and it’s right along the river in the showcased, artsy South Bank area. I tried to catch a kid on one of the ramps but I had only my phone and not my camera and it just wasn’t fast enough.
See you tomorrow!
