Photo of the Day: London’s River Thames, ‘At His Own Sweet Will’

“Never did sun more beautifully steep

   In his first splendour valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

   The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

   And all that mighty heart is lying still!”— William Wordsworth, “Upon Westminster Bridge, Composed September 3, 1802”

I took this photograph of the River Thames from a bus three years ago, when I was visiting London on a very short business trip.
