London Bridge and Tower Bridge
---------------------------------------------
I thought that these two bridges are same. In fact I had never heard of Tower Bridge. Only when I saw them, I found that they were different. Both are across River Thames and are parallel to each other. The Tower Bridge seems to be the old London Bridge , which is the one in the nursery rhyme "London Bridge is falling down". (Please correct me, if I am wrong!)
This is the London Bridge, which looks very ordinary to me....
Some views of London from the London Eye(Millenium Wheel)..
Here,on the right hand side, you can see Westminster Abbey and Big Ben.
This is the Tower Bridge , may be named after the London Tower..
With HMS Belfast , in the back ground..
...and if you are not convinced that it is called Tower Bridge....
Windsor Castle near the London Tower, across R.Thames.

Note: Sony DSC SR-32 resolution is 640 x 480 . Hence the grains...
We have given back the camera, anyway.
More next time.....
