This is the Tower Bridge, not to be confused as London Bridge.
These steps lead from the Thames River up to the Tower. The Tower has served as a fortress, royal palace and a prison, housing (and executing!) many famous persons since 1078 A.D., when the original portion of the building was construced by William the Conqueror. Also, since 1303, it has been home to the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.
The only "pretty" picture I took on the Tower property.
A corner shot of the compound...the green at the bottom was once a very treacherous moat, formidable to cross!
Check out my cool shades. Lance says they make me look like a fly. Ha ha.
