Saint Helen's Wharf is a noted beauty spot on the River Thames, just upstream of the medieval bridge at Abingdon-on-Thames. The wharf was for centuries an important transport and shipping link up the Thames and between canals from Oxford and the Midlands. It taks its name from the Anglo-Saxon St Helens Church, seen in the distance. Here we see the wharf and church at their prettiest, with a winter's first light giving it a luminescent beauty. And loads of pigeons on a fence, just chilling
