Windsor to Taplow

Returned to the Thames walk after a weekend of walking in Norfolk with Urban75 http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=73518&l=5ca23&id=906345340

First sight of the Thames at Windsor was a bevy of swans. And that apparently (along with the alternative of wedge) is the correct collective noun for swans.

Maidenhead Railway Bridge built by Sir Isambard Brunel in 1839 is a much older crossing of the river. It is still the widest and fattest brick arch in the world. It is also sometimes called Echo Bridge. We tested the echo.......
Five years after it was built the bridge was famously portrayed by J W Turner in his painting Rain, Steam and Speed
