London's waste


Today's photograph shows the tug, "Recovery", on the River Thames in London. It is towing two barges loaded with waste containers. These are probably full and are being taken to the waste disposal site south of the Greenwich Peninsula. In the background is the Albert Bridge, a crossing that connects Chelsea in Central London on the north bank to the Battersea area on the south. I recall photographing a tug with barges years ago in Rotherhithe. On checking, I found that it was eleven years ago and the very same tug as the one above! I also found a shot of a tug at work in the evening.
