泰晤士河畔
去年晚（10，12月）特別多雨，濕濕冷冷。過了年，一月初下了場細囈細囈的雪，未到天光就溶了，這幾天來都是在零度徘徊，結霜不去。
難得星期四陽光燦爛，急不及待跑出去和陽光玩遊戲。

The bridge features a unique bascule mechanism, which raises its two towers to let vessels through. Today, it stands as a symbol of London’s rich history and engineering innovation, attracting millions of visitors each year.

滑鐵盧橋是位於倫敦的一座歷史性且具標誌性的橋樑，橫跨泰晤士河，連接了西邊的威斯敏斯特及南岸地區與東邊的倫敦市區。該橋以紀念1815年滑鐵盧戰役中的英國勝利而命名。
目前的橋樑由吉爾斯·吉爾伯特·斯科特爵士（Sir Giles Gilbert Scott）設計，於二戰期間的1942年正式啟用。它經常被稱為「女士橋」（Ladies' Bridge），因為在施工期間，大量參與建設的工人是女性，這在當時是非常罕見的。滑鐵盧橋所處的位置十分有利，從橋上可以欣賞到倫敦眼、大本鐘、威斯敏斯特宮和金絲雀碼頭等標誌性地標的壯麗景色。
Waterloo Bridge is a historic and iconic structure in London, spanning the River Thames. It connects the areas of Westminster and the South Bank to the west with the City of London to the east. The bridge is named to commemorate the British victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 18152.
The current bridge, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, was opened in 1942 during World War II and is often referred to as the "Ladies' Bridge" because many of the construction workers were women, a rarity at the time3. Its strategic location offers stunning views of landmarks like the London Eye, Westminster, and Canary Wharf.
