The River Thames - May 2007 *** A low-resolution version of a high-definition video podcast available at (More) *** A low-resolution version of a high-definition video podcast available at http://www.londonlandscapetv.info ***
The River Thames flows through the heart of London, a great water artery that provides a wide foreground to the many landmark bridges and buildings that it flows past on its way to the English Channel.
We start our visual journey looking at Waterloo Bridge with St. Paul's Cathedral and the CIty of London beyond. Next, we step down to the river's sandy south shore and look up at the Hungerford Bridge with its recent Golden Jubilee Pedestrian Suspension Bridge extensions.
We then stay on the beach as we look once again at Waterloo Bridge. Our next view consists of three shots looking further along the south shore towards Blackfriars Bridge with the buildings of the City of London dominating the background. This sandy / stoney south shore is open to the public at low tide.
Our next bridge is the Millennium Bridge, a 330m steel structure erected in time to celebrate the coming of the year 2000, linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside.
We return to view the river craft ploughing up and down the Thames, this time passing the "Traitors Gate" - a historical river entrance to the Tower of London. Next to Tower of London is Tower Bridge, where we take a southerly view of this impressive structure before we close-in to the roadway capable of being raised to let tall ships through.
Our next view is of the World War II battle cruiser HMS Belfast, now occupying a more peaceful role as a floating tourist attraction. Fountains line many parts of the South Bank of the river, this shot being of one by the London Bridge City Pier.
Close to Tower Bridge is the curved modern structure of London's City Hall, home of London's Government, the London Assembly.
Finally we take a moment to join in the celebrations that form part of the opening of Potters Fields, a new Thames-side park between Tower Bridge and City Hall. Musician Pete Joyce shows off his saxophonist skills - you can hire Pete by contacting him (details on-screen). (Less)
Lament of the Winds Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows The West Wind comes walking, and about (More) Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes. 'What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight? Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?' 'I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey; I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more. The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor.' 'O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar, But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.' From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones; The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans. 'What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve? Where now is Boromir the fair? He tarries and I grieve.' 'Ask not of me where he doth dwell --- so many bones there lie On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky; So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea. Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!' 'O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south, But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea's mouth.' From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls; And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls. 'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today? What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.' 'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought. His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought. His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest; And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.' 'O Boromir! The Tower of Gaurd shall ever northward gaze To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.' -- J. R. R. Tolkien (Less)
