Tower Bridge '67

I made this print last night from a negative in my father's collection. He shot this when I was five years old. His car is the black Citroen DS. I find this image interesting now for several things:

The policeman on duty manning the non-automatic barriers, the old style traffic light and the fact that my father could park right there on Tower Bridge unmolested by the authorities. Today that would be a hanging offence!

Not the greatest of photographs, but I just wanted to share it.

To appreciate the British way you have to go to places like S. Africa. As the guide on the tour bus I was on, from Jo'burg said to the non U.K. group " In South Africa we drive on the correct side of the road, that is to say the left."

This shot is history. We have to stop our parents' negs being thrown out in our instant society.

Let's see more Andy, if you have any.

hmmm...

I see a French and a German automobiles on an impassable English Road.....? :wink:

I like Claire's perspective. Hense, we have a Left Coast and a Right Coast. You'll find most of America somewhere in between...

Hi Joey, you see British (a Morris Minor) and French (my father's Citroen DS) cars on a piece of road where today parking is a shooting offence, lol!
