Bob, It says a lot about the current state of the Thames that there is a beach there instead of knee-deep malodorous muck (as there was as recently as 1982).
Both of your photos are great--the timing and compostion are excellent, and the juxtaposition of the BW photos with the color in the second is very striking. The Magnum exhibition is as unsettling as it is meant to be.
