Spanning 520 metres across the River Thames near Woolwich, the Thames Barrier is the second-largest retractable flood defence barrier in the world.
The barrier has 10 steel gates that, when raised, are about as high as a 5-storey building. These 10 gates essentially divide the river into 10 individual flood gates, with each gate weighing approximately 3000 tonnes.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
I was born and raised in Athens, Greece, as an amateur photographer. In the beginning were the darkroom years. Then the darkroom became a computer.
I studied economics and work in a financial institution, but that didn't stop me from doing cityscape, architecture and landscape photography.
