Cyanobacteria on Regent's Canal
During July a hot spell caused parts of the Regents Canal (and many other waterways elsewhere) to be covered by Cyanobacteria, a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. They are often called blue-green algae, although the name is sometimes considered a misnomer because cyanobacteria are prokaryotes and the term "algae" is often reserved for eukaryotes. The train is operating a TfL service from Liverpool Street, and behind it are the Suttons Wharf South development and the Great Regent Tower.

Railway viaduct behind the Queen Mary University Student Residences
I thought I'd just pass the time away whilst I had a spare moment after my lunch break taking a walk around the campus of Queen Mary and taking some "behind-the-scenes" photos. If you walk all the way up the Regents Canal path adjacent to the student residences at Queen Mary to the GER bridge and look left, you get a view of these brick arches carrying the railway as well as a small green, leading to the bins for the nearby halls of residence and a small car park beyond. This is actually as far as you can go into the top-left hand corner of this square (on this side of the railway, anyway). Not the most exciting of views, but an interesting one all the same. View taken looking north-northeast towards Globe Town on the other side of the railway.
