I couldn't stop gazing at the Tower Bridge. There is a great view of the bridge from inside the Tower of London complex, and we also strolled along the River Thames for a bit to get another view. Its towers look powerful, and the stately turrets at the top give it charm. It is architecturally pleasing. Modern bridges are also designed to appeal to the viewer, but in a more streamlined and functional way.
That's my artistic and architectural two pence.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to rouse my structural engineering psyche, because we didn't have time to walk over the bridge or take a tour of its lift mechanisms. I will look forward to doing that next time! ;)
