The Sleeping Knight of the Tatra mountains
The Sleeping Knight of the Tatra mountains This formation is called the Sleeping Knight, there is a giant cross on the peak that is his nose. Mount Giewont one of the most distinctive of the Tatra peaks. This silhouette has long been likened to that of a Sleeping Knight, with his plumed helmet curling away at the westernmost extent.

<p>TOWER BRIDGE The most iconic of all London's bridges. I took this photo on a beautiful day with my Canon camera. I am no longer able to walk very far but did love the walk from Westminster Bridge along the south side of the river to Tower Bridge as there is so many interesting sights to see. A walk over the bridge and you can visit The Tower of London a castle built by the Normans back in 1078. <br />
<br />
Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule, suspension, and, until 1960, cantilever bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry with the help of Henry Marc Brunel. It crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and is one of five London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Foundation, a charitable trust founded in 1282.<br />
<br />
The bridge was constructed to connect the 39 per cent of London's population that lived east of London Bridge, equivalent to the populations of &quot;Manchester on the one side, and Liverpool on the other&quot;, while allowing shipping to access the Pool of London between the Tower of London and London Bridge. The bridge was opened by Edward, Prince of Wales, and Alexandra, Princess of Wales, on 30 June 1894.<br />
<br />
The bridge is 940 feet (290 m) in length including the abutments[4] and consists of two 213-foot (65 m) bridge towers connected at the upper level by two horizontal walkways, and a central pair of bascules that can open to allow shipping. Originally hydraulically powered, the operating mechanism was converted to an electro-hydraulic system in 1972. The bridge is part of the London Inner Ring Road and thus the boundary of the London congestion charge zone, and remains an important traffic route with 40,000 crossings every day. The bridge deck is freely accessible to both vehicles and pedestrians, whereas the bridge's twin towers, high-level walkways, and Victorian engine rooms form part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition.<br />
<br />
Tower Bridge has become a recognisable London landmark. It is sometimes confused with London Bridge, about 0.5 miles (800 m) upstream, which has led to a persistent urban legend about an American purchasing the wrong bridge.</p>
