Sea horses heart The Thames

(PHOTO: OBYVATEL)

This is a typical London photo. Picturesque Big Ben? Check. Fun London Eye? Check. Dark stormy grey sky? Check. Aaand… odd yellow tinge to the water? Double check. Everytime I walk across the river I think ‘this city is so pretty. That water is truly horrible, you’d probably dissolve if you fell in there’. And yet, clearly I am being unfair. Because apparently, sea horses live there. I sometimes read about various projects to clean up the toxic Thames, but I honestly didn’t think it could ever work, and I am amazed that anything lives there, let alone the dainty Hippocampus Hippocampus. Amazed and delighted.
