Victoria Embankment

Canary Wharf, Tower Castle, Tower Bridge and Tate Modern to my left

I sit on a bench with angel wings facing the Thames River

London Eye, Westminster, Big Ben, National Theatre, Charring Cross Station and Waterloo Bridge to my right

I sit on a bench with traffic pressing behind me

Tourists, natives, locals, cameras, couples, pensioners, students, runners, cyclists, groups, singles, colours gliding by

A bird soars the sky below a plane, boats and river cruises hover across the water

Clouds part for the sun, sounds muffled in tranquillity, Victoria Embankment.
