Myths are perpetuated, but the camera never lies - # 32


It is a myth perpetuated by foreigners (mostly working in the French Tourist Agency) that England is a gloomy rain sodden place for 362 days a year.
My trusty Olympus camera gives you the stunningly lovely 18th Century view of the Thames from Kew Bridge looking down river towards Strand on the Green.

  5. Thank you for coming to my blog and commenting.

    I looked at your picture and read your post and then ran your photo through Photoshop to bring out some of what is hidden in the shadows and it doesn't look as gloomy and rain sodden place.

    An interesting post.
