Too hot to sit down

The dome of St Pauls from the Millennium Bridge

Today has been sweltering. I didn't realise just how hot it was until I took my lunch break today.

I acquired a copy of the free paper and planned to sit by the bank of the Thames watching the world go by.

As ever I phoned home to check everything was well with mum but during the conversation I realised I would be better to keep moving for fear of melting.

I made my way along the Thames, over the Millennium (where they were filming a pop video for a band I didn't recognise), before heading back across the south bank and over Blackfriars bridge to the office.

I stopped along the way to take some more shots on my Nokia 6280 and I am very pleased with the results. It seems the 6280 is very adept at photos when there is good light.

One of my favourite shots from today was of the view towards St Pauls from the ramp of the Millennium Bridge. I am sure it's a view that has been taken a thousand times before but it just grabbed my attention and I thought it only fair to share it with you.

St Paul's Cathedral is a cathedral on Ludgate Hill, in the City of London, and the seat of the Bishop of London. The present building dates from the 17th century, and is generally reckoned to be London's fourth St Paul's Cathedral, although the number is higher if every major medieval reconstruction is counted as a new cathedral.
