Over the Thames

 From the bridge that crosses the Thames by the Parliament buildings.

 On the far side, a newish government building with a pleasant courtyard and fountain.

 A view across the Thames.  The water was rather dirty looking and did not make me want to take a river cruise.   Perhaps some day, the river will be cleaned up.

 The impressive Parliament buildings, ready for some serious governing.

On the bridge, a vendor had some very good advice.
