My day at Tate Modern

The first photo here is from our first day in London. We walked over the Hungerford Bridge, stopped in Trafalgar Square and photographed this splendid ship-in-a-bottle and hiked on up to Jane Hamlyn’s Private View. I always feel happy to be back in London, I was there for 3 years as a student, taught in Bristol  for 1 1/2 yrs, returned to London to teach for 1 1/2 yrs, left for Canada and in 1969-70 Al and I lived there for the Winter. Even travelling on the tube makes me smile.

The next day Al went up to the British Museum and UCL while I walked from Waterloo Station to Tate Modern, about a 15-minute walk. Once there I wandered all through, taking photos of pieces that appealed to me, mostly sculptural. I had lunch in a cafeteria and snuck into a private area on the top so that I could take a photograph down at The Globe Theatre. And I took far too many pics of the clouds gliding over St Pauls and the Millenium Bridge (which doesn’t wobble at all now!). To see titles for the pics glide the cursor over the image and the words should appear.
