Picspam - canal and river

[ffutures]

I haven't done this for a while, so here is the latest picspam - I've reduced image size because there's nothing especially wonderful.

First something I saw in a car boot sale that might amuse rozk




Next a big swan family on the canal at Little Venice:










And finally, inspired by a recent post by selenak, I went to Greenwich on Tuesday, and came back by the river ferry to Westminster - which is only £4.17 at the moment if you have a freedom pass. A bit dreary and choppy, but I enjoyed the ride anyway.



The Cutty Sark from the ferry:


The Shard


Tower Bridge









HMS Belfast







A really big and incredibly noisy helicopter


And Big Ben - the building to the right in the second photo is Portcullis House, where the MPs have their offices, "a wretched hive of scum and villainy"





I think there is something wrong with the digital viewfinder of my little camera - a lot of pictures are coming out slightly crooked, I think the little screen in the eyepiece is slightly out of alignment. I shall have to get into the habit of using the back screen instead, or think about changing cameras.

It does look pretty awesome, I must admit.

How long does it take to look around the ship?

Imperial War Museum (which HMS Belfast is technically part of) website says to leave at least 90 minutes - someone on TripAdvisor said at least two-and-a-half hours wasn't enough.

That's somewhere else I've never been, the Imperial War Museum.
