Albert Embankment

This was taken on a cold morning opposite the Houses of Parliament. It's not the most colourful place during winter but it's pleasant enough with a good view across the river. Being a grey area the photo lends itself to being converted to black and white.

A couple of minutes after taking this photo a man jumped into the Thames right in front of me. A bit of a shock, but the police and an ambulance were on the scene within five minutes of me calling the police, handy things mobile phones. The guy was pulled from the river still alive, must have been freezing cold though, the temperature was just above freezing.
