Tower Bridge…..A view from the north bank of Thames River. The bridge is the gateway to the capital. Over 900 times a year the roadway parts and lifts to let tall ships pass through. As my son, Takaki, 11 years old at the time, said to me that he got hungry, I bought some sandwiches and drinks at a cafeteria near the Tower, and ate them sitting on a bench by the riverbank with him side by side. During the lunch, I drew a sketch of Tower Bridge. |
