Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

I've seen this boat on my visits to Richmond on Fridays but this is the first time I've had a chance to get a half decent shot of it in the last two years.

The boat is called "New Southern Belle"; it is a Mississipi-style stern wheeler bringing a flavour of the old New Orleans to the River Thames.

It is half empty in this shot but it usually full of party revellers at this time. I think it is a pub that docks periodically to pick up more punters but I am not really sure. Richmond Bridge is in the background and there is another pier shortly after the bridge where it picks up more punters as well.

	niccodeamus says: i love the reflections regardless of hyperbole, your imagery is very good. i know where you are coming from, you progress and leave the past behind, style changes and 'improves', but the 'past' is all part of the 'current' image Posted 5 weeks ago. ( permalink )
	St Paul Paul says: You and I are getting into the same business, both doing night-time images of steamboats! Is there a club for such things? :-) Very nice. Lovely light and reflections everywhere here. Gorgeous work. I know what you mean about the old stuff in one's stream. I almost wish I could archive things from over a few months ago in a separate persona, so that just the most recent images and ideas would show. The stuff that I'm into now (i.e. the past 4-6 weeks) is for me the most interesting. And the stuff that I'm going to do tomorrow is always best of all. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)
