On #ThisDayInHistory in 1697, #StPaulsCathedral in #London was consecrated. The #gothic original was largely wrecked in the #GreatFireOfLondon in 1666. The new one, to a design by #ChristopherWren, was finally completed in 1710, and was the city's tallest structure until 1963.

At St Paul's Cathedral Melbourne for the installation of The Right Revd Dr Ric Thorpe as Archbishop of Melbourne. This marks a significant moment for Anglicans across Victoria as we welcome our new Archbishop and on Advent Sunday. The installation of an Archbishop is a act of apostolic succession, connecting our local church to the ancient tradition of bishops shepherding God's people. As Archbishop Thorpe takes on this responsibility,I pray for wisdom and grace in his leadership of our diocese and province. Today I witness continuity and renewal in the life of the Church.

A black-and-white photograph taken from the Tate Modern looks out across the River Thames toward the London skyline. In the distance, St. Paul’s Cathedral dominates the scene with its large, unmistakable dome rising above the surrounding buildings. The cathedral appears slightly softened by the misty, overcast weather. The Thames stretches horizontally across the image, its surface muted by the rain and low light. On the near side of the river, a row of slender trees stands along the riverside path, their branches bare or lightly covered, creating a delicate contrast against the water. To the left, dense foliage from a larger tree fills the foreground, forming a dark silhouette. The entire scene has a quiet, subdued atmosphere. The grainy texture and soft focus give the impression of an older film photograph, emphasizing the moody, rainy character of London as seen from the Tate Modern’s riverside vantage point.

Ghosts on the Millennium Bridge

The Millennium Bridge has always been a bit of a drama queen – first it wobbled so much they had to shut it down, and now it’s serving up some of the most atmospheric shots in London.

This long exposure captures something almost supernatural about the daily pilgrimage across the Thames, with ghostly figures drifting like spirits between the sleek modernity of Norman Foster’s steel and glass creation and the timeless majesty of Wren’s baroque masterpiece. The blurred pedestrians become streams of human consciousness, each person’s journey reduced to ethereal wisps against the solid certainty of St. Paul’s dome.

The Millennium Bridge earned the nickname “Wobbly Bridge” because it swayed so dramatically when it first opened in 2000 that it had to be closed after just three days. The problem was “synchronous lateral excitation” – when large crowds walked in step, their footfalls created a resonance that made the bridge sway side to side by up to 7 centimetres, causing people to walk in sync to compensate, which only made the wobbling worse.

A wide-angle shot of the Millennium Bridge in London, looking towards St Paul's Cathedral on a cloudy day. The long, flat pedestrian bridge, made of metal and wood, stretches from the foreground into the distance, converging towards the iconic dome of St Paul's. The bridge's distinctive steel suspension cables and handrails are visible on both sides, creating a leading line towards the cathedral. Several blurred figures, indicating movement, are scattered along the bridge, walking towards and away from the viewpoint.
In the mid-ground, St Paul's Cathedral stands prominently with its dome and distinctive architectural features. Beyond the cathedral, the skyline of central London is visible, featuring various buildings and structures under a heavily overcast sky. The Thames River is not explicitly visible but lies beneath the bridge. The overall impression is one of a bustling city landmark on a typical British day.

Caught the sunrise from London’s Millennium Bridge a while back 🌅
The city was still, the Thames gently reflecting the light, and the silhouettes of St. Paul’s and The Shard stood quietly in the glow.
Moments like this remind me how serene a busy city can be when it’s just waking up.
