Eastern approach to the Thames Barrier

Eastern approach to the Thames Barrier
The Thames Barrier is a movable flood barrier which has been in place since 1982. It stretches across the Thames from New Charlton on the left (south side), to Silvertown on the right bank.

Thank you, Pam. I'm glad that I did, but not as well as I would have liked to. I find it much easier when there is more light to play with and not on a moving boat.

Glorious sky! The Thames barrier looks interesting- has it ever been put to the test in a really big flood?

I found the Barrier interesting as I'd not see it close up before. Just the once from the air, when being flown into Heathrow.
Thanks for your interest, Gudrun. Not being a Londoner I'm not au fait with its frequency of use, but I found a webpage stating that "The Thames Barrier has been closed 176 times since it became operational". www.gov.uk/guidance/the-thames-barrier

Thank you, Maurice. It was a perfect sight to see, for my eyes. However it was far from perfect light for photography on a moving boat.

I thank you for your visit, Jeff. The boat's timing was spot on for making the view look so dramatic.

Thank you, Keith. I'm chuffed to have any photo as a memory of this fleeting moment and the chance to share the sight, but disappointed it turned out so flat.
