A fireboat passes under Southwark Bridge during the Thames Festival 4
Every year, the Thames Festival brings Londons great river to life with a month-long season of river-related events: art, music, open days, family events, talks, walks and boats. Sometimes though, as seen here, the weather doesn t co-operate. Here we see a fireboat approaching Southwark Bridge... giving the watchers on the bridge a free shower in the process

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jon Bower, we witness the indomitable spirit of London's Thames Festival despite unfavorable weather conditions. As a fireboat gracefully passes beneath Southwark Bridge, its powerful jet spray creates an unexpected spectacle for onlookers above. The dark sky and misty atmosphere add a touch of mystery to the scene, contrasting with the iconic sights of Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast in the background. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of this month-long celebration, where art, music, open days, family events, talks, walks and boats come together to bring life to London's great river. Even though rain showers may dampen spirits elsewhere, here they become part of the fun as watchers on the bridge receive an impromptu shower from above. The fireboat itself stands as a symbol of strength and resilience. With its pump spraying water high into the air like a majestic fountain against all odds, it embodies both power and grace. This vessel is not just any boat; it is part of London Fire Brigade's fleet dedicated to fighting fires and performing daring rescue missions along the Thames. Jon Bower has masterfully captured this moment that showcases both heritage and modernity – from Southwark Bridge's solid iron arches to Tower Bridge's majestic suspension towers. It serves as a reminder that even amidst unpredictable weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances during festivities like these – true celebrations can still prevail with unwavering determination.
