Walking along the Tames

Last Wednesday we had our first "outdoor class". We walked along Tames from London Eye until OXO Tower. There, Milagros showed us the terrace in the last floor and we could enjoy of a nice 

landscape.

We left the college and crossed a tunnel was fully of gratifies. Here it is permit but there are rules. At the end of the tunnel you can see an advert when explain them.  

I though that our college was more far of the Tames, but in a few minutes we arrived to London Eye. It was cloudy day, but it didn't rain. My photos are better than others days, because I didn't bring my tablet because Patricia lent me her camera.

That day, there were a lot of contrast between green color of the grass and grey of builds and sky.
The Jubilee Gardens were inaugurated in 1977 for the Queen's Silver Jubilee and has a memorial to the casualties of the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War.

It is so difficult takes a photo of whole Royal Festival from this side of the river, so I took a photo only of windows.
