Under the bridge

We went - who knew it would rain so hard! - to see a tall ship that had been in town sail out again. Well, not exactly sail...sort of glide ... I've not seen Tower Bridge open up before.
The ship passed, the bridge closed .... Been there, seen that, took the photos (in the gloom, while juggling an umbrella).

Quite a few people there. Quite exciting, in a patient, wet sort of way.

Here's a view of another such event (smaller ship). And here's a video of the ship sailing into port a few days back. Yes, those are people up along the yards...
