Remembering - 14 November 2010

Time passes but the horror of war is still visible in the many monuments in London, UK to sacrifices made by the armed services and loss of life to civilians. All images mine from a mix of analogue and digital cameras. Each row from upper left: (i) Highbury Corner V1 Rocket Memorial, (ii) mosaic from base of Meeting Place by Paul Day, St Pancras International, (iii) sunlight through tree in Abney Park Cemetery, (iv) Coronation Ave Bombing memorial - Abney Park Cemetery, (v) wild rose in Abney Park Cemetery, (vi) War memorial - Abney Park Cemetery and (vii) Druid St Bermondsey memorial

OK, it's a bit touristy but I couldn't help stopping for a pic when crossing the Thames yesterday. A rare, no cloud morning in London. The bright colours are the newly-repainted railings along the Southwark Road Bridge, my favourite river crossing - minimal traffic and fully-segregated bike lanes in both directions.

Vauxhall - front view of bike docked after my first ride on Transport for London's Cycle Hire bike. Verdict: heavy but smooth ride on rough roads - it's an updated version of a beach bomber complete with front and rear lights and bell. Gearing a bit low but not planning an attempt at the human powered speed record anytime soon. It has a 'presence' on the road and posed no handling difficulties on my half-hour jaunt from Hoxton to Vauxhall.
