On Millennium Bridge

The bridge named Millennium Bridge is the place where tourists are viewing  the tone of the city, a school group is talking about their destination Tate,a family hand in hand is walking toward St Paul's Cathedral and a lovers is kissing with the moment which seems to last forever. Being the same as many London's regions, the bridge can gather millions of people's footsteps over years and years.Well,it is rather to be said that it will have more future than past, as its construction was completed just 8 years ago in 2002.
It took for its being built 4years to finish, including from the reconstruction in 2000 to its reopen, due to the strange swaying motion after the first opening in 2 days. So, the bridge can be called "Wobbly bridge" among Londoners.


Every time I see the frame of it with St Paul's Cathedral as background on some book's covers, someones photographs,greeting cards as its design and so on, my memories built upon it flush back into my vision in my brain, correcting the information with nostalgic emotion randomly.Some said how we remember the places where we have visited is virtually how we have been having it in our body with the connection of memories.And that is absolutely right. Stepping back from its body to the south side of the grand beside Tate Modern, I wondered about the decades ahead of me.
