    When I’m traveling, I tend to get a little bummed out if I don’t have clear blue skies available when I’m standing in front of what may well be a once in a lifetime photographic opportunity.

    Such was the case when we recently traveled to London and I was standing in clear view of London’s famous Tower Bridge.  However, in this case, I think the clouds serve to add a little drama to the scene.

    What do you think?

    Completed in 1894, London’s iconic Tower Bridge is often confused with the London Bridge which is actually the next bridge upstream and is far less majestic.

    The bridge features two towers tied together with two horizontal walkways and is currently bedecked with red, white, and blue colors for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee.

    I captured this photograph from the grounds of the Tower of London while we were exploring the White Tower built by William the Conqueror in 1078.

    Imagine, in 1078, intellectuals thought the world was flat and the idea that the America’s even existed was not one person’s conscious thought.

    Stay tuned, I’ll share William the Conqueror’s White Tower with you in another post.

    Bio: The Roaming Boomers is a luxury travel blog spotlighting experience, adventure, learning and exploration. David and Carol Porter, Michigan natives who retired to Scottsdale, started the project in 2008 after the market collapse took away almost half of the savings they’d carefully put together to be able to retire at age 50. The couple combined their years of entrepreneurship with a love of travel and set off to see if they could build success. The Roaming Boomers do occasionally accept free lodging, food and other gifts, but disclose that in their posts. They hope to build an audience of Baby Boomers who join them vicariously on their adventures. But they also hope to instill their love of travel so that the coming bubble of 79 million Boomers will join them.
