Mary, some of the ash is falling across the UK but none in London right now. We're meant to have some great sunsets but I haven't seen any yet. Apparently in Scotland they've had some nice ones. I'm just enjoying the silence for now!
Very nice pictures. I really like the bridge shot. Thanks for sharing. I hope to be behind the lens in London too one day. But in the mean time it is a blessing to experience through yours.
And I have to say that the best thing about this ash business is that the trains that I normally get into London and home were empty-ish!! As mine normally connects from and to Stansted Airport.
Me and my neighbour spent the morning looking up at the blue skies - we were talking about the ash and by some osmosis stood looking up for about 10 mintes saying "nah, can't see it myself, can you?" How silly was that?!?!!?
Anyway!! Great snaps of the millenium bridge and st paul's - and the thames is always a beautiful sight. Actually today would have been great to visit Kew - the plane sounds always spoil it for me!
It is SO strange to see the empty skies. I live in West London and there are always planes passing overheard to Heathrow - except for the past few days. It's quite nice, actually.
Happy Saturday. I know what you mean by it being strange to see no planes. My cousin was due to fly on holiday tomorrow but his flight been cancelled cause of the ash cloud:( But oh well, it has been a gorgeous day.
Lovely! Ash? What volcanic ash? I don't SEE any volcanic ash. The skies empty of planes is a strange and beautiful thing. It happened here after 9/11. I perfer the ash.
I have one friend grounded in the US and another in Egypt, neither of which can get home because of that ash. Who would have thought it?? What a strange occurrence. But your photos are gorgeous. That's such a great view of St. Paul's.
Hi Talli, lovey pics. It's very quite here in Ireland too, no planes. But a sad side effect is that a lot of dads have gone to work in London because of the recession here and they normally fly back Friday nights. So hope it gets back to normal soon.
The view from the South Bank. 
Wow very nice!!! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your Saturday Talli!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the virtual trip to London this morning. I feel the travel bug stirring in me. Happy weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! So you aren't expected to get any effects from the ash? I wondered about that. You should have some beautiful sunsets, right?
ReplyDeleteNice pics. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, everyone!

St. Paul's always reminds me of Princess Diana, God bless her!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday to you! Love the pictures. The one place I wouldn't mind being grounded because of volcanic ash is London.

ReplyDeleteNeat pictures! I hope you don't need to take a plane anywhere soon!
ReplyDeleteI shall stare at these pictures for some time. I love London!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Talli! I lived in London, and it is one of my favorite places on earth. Thanks for taking me back.

I used to live in London. I can imagine what it's like to have quiet skies, just for once. That's one of the reasons we moved away.
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty! London is on my list of "visit before you die" cities. :D Thanks for the pics!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful photos. Whenever I see a spacious auzure sky, my souls stirs as if I'm looking into the infinite heart of God.
ReplyDeleteHave a healing weekend. Come drop by my blog. You're always welcome. Pull up a cyber chair and chat. Roland
I'm totally going to the UK someday. This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - enjoy a terrific weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend everyone!

ReplyDeleteI love the second piccie.
ReplyDeleteThe main thing I noticed about UK skies last time I was there was how munch jet vapour trails dominated on a clear day.
I want to go to London! Can you hear me whining?
