Tower Bridge

It's been a while since I posted a photograph from the homeland so Tower Bridge gets to be that photograph. I lived in England up to the age of 29 and I had never seen Tower Bridge open and it wasn't like I didn't visit there often. As a kid my mum, dad and grandmother would take us to London to see the sights and the history and to learn about our capital city. As an adult I drove trains into Liverpool St. Station, a 10 minute walk to Tower Bridge which we would do during our longer breaks in London just to kill time and get some exercise. So imagine my surprise as we walked around the Tower of London and heard the warning sirens coming from the bridge. We looked over and the next thing we saw was the bridge begin to open to let a boat through. I didn't get a photograph of the bridge opening but I did get a video and when I've cleaned it up a bit I will post it on here.
