Millennium bridge, St. Paul's Cathed Photo

Photographer’s Note

With construction beginning in 1998, it was the first new bridge across the Thames in London since Tower Bridge in 1894 and it is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is a pedestrian only bridge and once can get a scenic view of St. Paul's Cathedral on one side and the Globe Theatre and Tate Museum on the other. From the bridge, you can see the River Thames and Tower Bridge in the distance.

The design of the bridge was the subject of a competition organised in 1996 by Southwark council. The winning entry was an innovative "blade of light" effort from Arup, Foster and Partners and Sir Anthony Caro. The bridge is also known as the Wibbly Wobbly Bridge.

Hi Jyothi,
view is interesting - I have also taken this scene from this spot before, but mine was at night. You may view it here if you want.

Back to this shot, I think it's a bit over-exposed. Perhaps two or maybe three stops down could work better.

Best regards,
Daniel
