London Thames Barrier (#0235)

Continuing from my earlier post about the Thames Barrier (http://www.ipernity.com/doc/donbrr/47920748 )

One of the Thames Barrier gates nearest the south shore of the Thames, with the gate closed. If you look at the nearby satellite view of the barrier, you’ll see that the two barriers closest to the south shore, and four closest to the north shore, are much narrower than the barriers on the main channel. The near-shore barriers are often closed, which fortunately gives a view of how they all would look closed. More on the barriers with the nearby pictures.
