On Site

This is taken from a tall building under construction, looking over the City Centre. The views in all directions were spectacular, so the choice was really difficult today. I have added one extra - fascinating watching all the trades busy at their work.

In the foreground is the Embankment site on the other side of the railway line, also under construction. The steel frame encompasses three levels of parking, which will sit below two big office blocks. There is a lot that could be said here - but I prefer to admire the view.

This day in 1975 I remember very well. It snowed, and the snow lay quite a bit of the day. The following summer was one of the best on record, and then of course we had the summer of '76. So there is hope for this year yet, notwithstanding the recent cold, wet and windy weather.
