Tate Modern

On Wednesday, I decided to wander down to the Tate Modern. I took the Tube to the Embankment Station and crossed the Thames on Hungerford Bridge.

Then I walked along the Thames. There was an area that looked to be converted to a skate park.

Then I reached the Tate Modern. One of the exhibits is the actual artwork on the outside of the building.
The Tate Modern is actually in the former Bankside Power Station. Here is an inside view. Unlike the British Museum, where non-flash photography is allowed, no photography of the artwork is allowed here.
View of St. Paul's Cathedral and Millennium Bridge. St. Paul's Cathedral is quite prominent and somewhat dominates the skyline of London. It seems I often catch view of its top spire throughout London.
Spanning the Thames between the Tate Modern and St Paul's Cathedral, the Millennium Bridge is the first to be built in the city for over 30 years. Undoubtedly a spectacular addition to London's cityscape, Lord Foster (its architect) envisaged the bridge as being a "blade of light" when lit at night. Certainly, it succeeds on this level, not only being unique in appearance but also being one of the world's first horizontal suspension bridges.

Dubbed the "wobbly bridge", it was forced to close just days after its public opening. Although the nausea inducing 'ride' that many experienced (caused by sheer weight of numbers) never threatened to undermine its structural integrity, the bridge's excessive wobbling forced designers back to their drawing boards. The bridge's engineers Ove Arup and Partners have now successfully installed additional damping units
View of the cloudy London skyscape. I am mesmerized by the clouds here. For some reason they seem to come in much lower and sweaping.
Another view of St. Paul's Cathedral.
