<p>Another of my near one hundred  photos of St Paul's Cathedral and the Millennium Footbridge over the river Thames in London. <br />
The bridge links Bankside to the area know as The City of London and has a beautiful view of St Paul's Cathedral as you cross northward. This photo was taken with my Cannon Camera. If you have seen the Harry Potter Films you would have seen the bridge with wizards flying under and over it. I have included a link below to St Paul's wiki page for those interested in history.<br />

<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
This is the River Trent, looking south.<br />
Adjacent to the Attenborough Nature Reserve,<br />
the area has been rejuvenated from austere,<br />
rather sterile gravel pits into a vibrant green sanctuary and habitat, buzzing with life.<br />
The Trent is the U. K’s third longest river at 298 km. or 185 miles.<br />
It rises in the southern Pennines of Staffordshire, flows south,<br />
then east, through Nottingham and Burton-upon-Trent,<br />
before turning north.<br />
It joins the River Ouse at Trent Falls to merge into the Humber Estuary.<br />
In its lower reaches the river frequently floods across its flood plain.<br />
Indeed, the origin of the name “Trent” is said to mean, “strongly flooding.”</p>
