The Boat Show, Excel Centre, London

The Boat Show was quite disappointing: too many motorboats, few innovations and new ideas, no freebies. The "wow factor" was lacking.

But we loved the location.

This picture illustrates a little of the landscape that we found so awesome.

The Emirates Airline Cable Car rides above it all, the buildings beyond and below represent the industrial power of London during the19th and 20th centuries. The support poles of The O2 Arena point into the sky, and two figures in the foreground, instead of being fishermen, dockers, lightermen, stevedores, or  bargemen, are city workers at play.
